"Based on presentations by DEC and Rational which I attended, it is my
understanding that DEC and Rational have set up a teaming agreement, so
that Rational will develop, among other things, an Ada 95 compiler for
DEC.  Apparently, DEC has decided that Ada 95 toolsets are not a
reasonably viable product for them to produce on their own, which is a
very different concept from declaring the language itself to not be
viable.  Both Rational and DEC have said they are commited to Ada, and
that Rational is in a better position than DEC to develop such toolsets."

Note that Ada Core Technologies can supply today a full language Ada 95
compiler for DEC Unix, covering all the core language and all annexes.
This version, like other GNAT versions is freely available, and can be
downloaded from any of the GNAT mirror sites.
