Rational on vacation?

[westley@buffnet.net (Terry J. Westley)]

I've been trying to reach Rational for over a week to ask whether they
have an Ada 95 compiler for Sun/Solaris yet.  Anyone know if the whole
company is on an extended vacation?

We have several VADS licences (through Sun) and I have been investigating
whether we should skip Sun Ada version 3.0 and go directly to Ada 95.

I have not been in contact with Rational since the merger with Verdix
and our sales rep was apparently excessed out, so I need to establish a
new contact.

To find out about an Ada 95 compiler or who my sales rep might be, I have:

1)  Read their Web pages and found nothing but fluff.  There is no hard
    data that I could find about which machines and OSes have compilers.

2) Sent email to a mailto: URL on their web page.  No response.

3) Called their North East district office.  Voice mail jail.

4) Called their New York City sales office.  More voice mail.

5) Called their Boston sales office.  Hey, got a real person!  But,
   he only answers the phone, doesn't know who my sales rep might be.
   He switches me over to more voice mail!

Argh!  Are these people on a week-long cruise or company picnic?

If you've read this far, you probably think I'm baiting.  Yes, I am.
Perhaps someone from Rational will email me with the name of their
sales rep for the Buffalo, NY, area.

Or, perhaps its time to see what other compilers are available for
Solaris 2.5.
