If your software is safe and reliable, you're not just protecting your investment. You're protecting lives! Which is why Ada is the right programming language for medical instrumentation. Software now pervades almost every aspect of daily life. Transport systems depend on software for control of vehicles and their infrastructure. Financial institutions rely on software for accounting and the transfer of money. Industrial software controls equipments and manufacturing processes. Hospitals depend on software for managing patient records and for control of life-support systems.

The use of software has grown dramatically over the last decade with the availability of low-cost, high-performance hardware. It is clear that the safety of much human life and property depends directly or indirectly upon the correctness and deterministic properties of software.

No other computer language has the inherent reliability and fail-safe characteristics of Ada. This means that while mistakes are possible in any languages, they're a lot tougher to make with Ada.

Of course, Ada has much more to offer. For instance, faster running code. Unsurpassed support for large, complex applications. Clarity of source code and consistent programming standards. Undoubtedly, Ada is the language for software engineering.

"Ada, when failure is not an option."

Ada95 is a new, internationally standardized Ada language. Ada95 is the first and only true object-oriented programming language to be recognized as an international standard.

Ada95 is an extremely powerful language, combining the flexibility of C++, the simplicity of Pascal, and the elegance of Ada83.

Ada95 is the first software development language designed with mission-critical and object-oriented developers in mind. It offers the safety and security of Ada's inherent error checking and additional object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism. Ada95 was designed to be as upwardly compatible as possible with Ada83 and continues to be very readable language, which cuts down in maintenance efforts and ultimately project costs.

Ada95 compilation system features:

• Full Ada95 core language.
  
• Annexes A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
  
• ACVC 2.x validated.
  
• Lightning-fast compilation.
  
• Fast, open library model.
  
• Integrated Ada95 references.
  
• On-line documentation.
  
• Support for Ada83 dialects.
  
• Support Java.
  

ObjectAda environment features:

• User-friendly GUI.
  
• Integrated development tools.
  
• Language sensitive editor.
  
• Command line and GUI debugging capabilities.
  
• Browsing features including package dependencies.
  
• Hypertext environment user's guides.
  

The ObjectAda utilizes the unique caching technique used in the building of an Ada executable, results in a fast and efficient building process. The new compiler technology not only produces compilation speeds many times faster than preceding Ada technologies, but is also comparable to the best compiler technology used for other general purpose programming languages.

ObjectAda offers on-line assistance needed for the development tools. Documentation and help are available through most common hypertext viewers. Hypertext links are inserted to facilitate the dissemination of information to the end user. The user will have on-line access to the Ada95 Language Reference Manual, the Ada Rationale, LRM annotations, user's guides, release notes and much more.
