The only commercial product for the Mac is the one originally written
by Meridian. Meridian later merged with Verdix, and the resulting
company later become part of Rational.
Rational provides adequate support for the product. However, they have
yet to make a statement that they will upgrade the product to support
PowerPC or 9X. I expect (hope) they will make such a statement next
month at TRI-Ada. It's my belief that unless there is such a stated
intent to upgrade, the product is effectively dead (though it will hang
around for a while.) Alsys once had a Mac product, but their decision
not to upgrade to System 7 effectively killed it.
Mike Feldman will surely respond shortly on Ada/Ed, a non-commericial
product of value in certain areas.
Eventually there will surely be a GNAT for the Mac, but I have heard
nothing about a schedule.
I require Ada for my consulting activities. If Rational does not commit
at TRI-Ada to PowerPC, and 9X and nothing else happens, I will have no
choice but to buy another platform.
Any reader of this news group who needs an Ada compiler on the Mac would
do well to make that need known to Rational. Write to them at
product_info@rational.com
I did so some time ago.
