Of course as soon as I clicked send, the name came
to me - Rational Systems.
Anybody remember them or have any of their systems?
Rational developed an integrated Ada development
environment, very advanced for its time, that ran
on dedicated hardware. They later produced
workstation-hosted environments for Ada and C/C++.
They are probably best known for their CASE and
modelling tools, e.g., Rational Rose, and for the
work of Grady Booch (UML). They acquired Pure-Atria
in 1997, adding Purify and Clearcase to their stable.
IBM bought Rational a few years back, but apparently
are still using the Rational brand.
