James Squire said

"Yes, DEC has declined to enter the Ada 95 market directly, but no, this
is not an industry trend.  In fact, DEC is working with another vendor
(I think I know who, but will decline until I am absolutely sure) who
will provide DEC's Ada 95 solution - at least that's what I heard they
were intending to do.
"

There is no secret here. The cooperation between DEC and Ada Core
Technologies was announced last year at Tri-Ada. The contract is now
in place, and we expect to start field-testing of the GNAT Ada 95
compiler for Alpha VMS within the next couple of weeks. This is a full
GNAT implementation with many additions for DEC Ada compatibility (e.g.
the full implementation of all GNAT pragmas and attributes, many of
which will be available in other GNAT implementations starting with
GNAT release 3.07.

For DEC Unix, there is a GNAT implementation as well, and Rational has
promised a full Ada 95 version of APEX for this configuration.
