I hope that this is true, but I also note that Amiga(R) Ada(R) does not appear
on the September 1990 list of Ada compilers that have been validated by the
Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO).  For what its worth, there are presently 479
compilers on the September, 1990 list including entries for PC's (5 companies
for MS/PC-DOS compilers, one OS/2 compiler writing company, and 7 companies
writing Ada compilers for PC's running Unix, Xenix, etc), and for the Mac II
running A/UX (one company, Alsys), and the Mac II and Mac SE/30 running 
system 6.0.3 (one company, Meridian).  Oxxi is not presently listed as an
Ada compiler vendor.
