I would like to comment on Richard's comments on how Ada was treated within Aonix. We have some very good news! First, Ada has been doing pretty well within Aonix in recent years even if, as Richard was probably referring to, the main focus of the company had not always been on Ada. The good news is that the old Aonix just split 2 weeks ago into two new companies: the new Aonix, which retains the modeling (StP/ACD), Ada and UIMS (TeleUSE) tools businesses and Select Business Solutions, which consists of the former eBIS and Select divisions. We can officially announce that the new Aonix is committed to keep its Ada business healthy and growing. The new investment structure will allow Aonix to refocus on its typical mission-critical applications business, where Ada is playing a key role, especially in the safety critical area (but not only!). It is always easy to make announcements. It is sometimes more difficult to show some achievements. That's why we invite all the Ada users to stay tuned to see what Aonix is going to deliver as new features and products in the Ada world very soon.
