Of course as soon as I clicked send, the name came to me - Rational Systems.
Anybody remember them or have any of their systems?

Have you googled? That name sounds really familiar, are you sure they
aren't still doing Ada stuff?

I remember a Rational Systems from DOS/4GW, the 32-bit DPMI extender that
was used a lot in the days before Win95 (DOOM, for example).

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.
