  On page 262 of the May 1991 issue of Byte, a company called Gemtech is 
advertising an ADA development system for $150.  The ad says "a complete 
VALIDATED ADA". 
   I believe that there are different levels of validation. Is anyone 
familiar with this product ? If so, is it a good introduction and / or 
development tool ? Are there low-cost alternatives (I'm aware of OpenADA 
from Meridian systems for $300 -- the ad implies that it's a limited 
version of the full development environment).
   Thank you for your comments.
