Dear ASISWG/ASISRG,
     Team-Ada,
     SIGAda-Announce,
     HRG:

Great News! Rational has joined the ranks of ASIS implementors
supporting the ASIS ISO Standard:

   ISO/IEC 15291:1999 Information technology
                    - Programming languages
                    - Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS)

Steve Deller of Rational has announced that "Apex 3.2 fully supports
ASIS 2.0, and continues backward compatibility support of the ASIS 1.1
and ASIS 1.2 Ada 83 interfaces."

Implementors claiming conformance to the ASIS ISO Standard now include
ACT, AONIX, and Rational. Tools written on one conforming environment
should be easily ported to other conforming environments. This should be
of benefit to the entire Ada community. Each vendor will be exhibiting
at SIGAda'99. Please stop by at the ACT, AONIX, and Rational Booths at
SIGAda'99 for additional information on their ASIS implementations.

Detailed questions about the Rational ASIS implementation can also be
directed to the Apex marketing team at the [log in to unmask] email
address.

We welcome Rational as the latest ASIS implementor!

Currie Colket
Chair ASISWG/ASISRG
