I'll let others answer your other questions, but I can answer this one.

This compiler is Ada 83 only.

When DEC needed an Ada 95 compiler, they contracted with AdaCore
to supply GNAT instead.

A very long time ago, back in the GNAT 3.1{x}p days before GNAT
was integrated into the GCC distribution, you could download an
official AdaCore public GNAT for VMS Alpha from the NYU FTP site
but that hasn't been true for a very long time.

Simon.
