January 23, 2013 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
San Diego, USA and Cheltenham, UK – January 23, 2013. Atego™, the leading independent supplier of industrial-grade, collaborative development tools for engineering complex, mission- and safety-critical architectures, systems, software and hardware, has launched Aonix ObjectAda® 9.0 for Windows with new support for Ada 2005.

"Ada continues to be a mainstay in many long-term military & aerospace applications and assuring the tools that support these applications remain not only available, but current and well maintained is critical," said Dr. Jerry Krasner, Chief Analyst Embedded Market Forecasters (www.embeddedforecast.com). "Not only has Ada as a language continued to improve, but the hardware and operating systems have evolved as well. I credit Atego for progressing their tools on both fronts to keep developers well equipped with the latest-and-greatest methodologies and technologies available." "It's no mistake that IBM entrusted Atego to take over their Ada line of products."

Aonix ObjectAda 9.0 for Windows is a major new release with significant support for many of the new language features in Ada 2005 that users require, as well as a number of new or enhanced features including:

  • Aonix ObjectAda operation in either Ada 2005 or Ada 95 mode

  • File IO Open/Create support for Unicode File Names
  • Read/Write support in Text_IO for decoding/Encoding UTF character data
