Thanks for the update. To my mind, that's an Ada-95 compiler with a non-standard 
mode.

IIUC, we don't yet have a final, ISO-approved, published version of next Ada 
yet, so to my mind it's not current Ada yet.

That's good to know.

So to recap, of 7 compilers, 3 implement the complete current standard (1 of 
them also implements the draft standard for the next version). 5 years after 
publication of the standard, that's not very encouraging.

three-dimensional situation, so many developers are hindered
by sequential thinking in concurrent situations.
