	They also support the IBM RT and Sun 3 products although you may have
to pull teeth to get them to sell these products.  A few internal benchmarks
show their Modula2 and Ada compilers generating better results than the 
Sun C compiler.  Since their main effort is with Ada products the C and Modula2
compilers are not promoted.  I think the prices for the Vax C and Vax Modula2
compilers were dropped to something under $400.
