An article from one of last week's free Electonics/Computing newspapers 
( Computer Weekly ? ).   ( somewhat edited )

Transputer to run Ada in new ESA project.
=========================================

Software Houses SD-Scicon and Alsys are to investigate development of a compiler
that will run Ada software in parallel processing modes on multiple Transputer
microprocessors.

....

Alsys have already developed a compiler to run Ada in serial mode on a 
Transputer, and will see if this compiler can be extended to take in parallel
working multiple Transputers.

No mention of any dates.
