Gee, last time I was at an Ada Resource Association Meeting there were
attendees
from:
    ACT
    Aonix
    Averstar (Formerly Intermetrics)
    DDC-I
    Greenhills
    OC Systems
    Rational

Last time I checked the ARA website, www.adaic.com , there were vendors who
had recently certified compilers.

As a side note: every air traveller relies on Ada every time they fly.  The
aircraft they
are flying probably has Ada running in its' avionics or communications
system, the
Air Traffic Control sytem that directs their flight, the GPS Satellites and
associated
ground control stations all rely on Ada.
