All are complete development systems with GUI environments that contain a ton of Ada-sensitive tools such as * MARK A BLOCK of code with two simple mouse clicks and then comment out the whole block of code. You can also reverse this process in case that wasn't the problem. * POINT & CLICK code generation. Generate complete, syntactically correct Ada Program Units and Types with a simple mouse click. * INTERACTIVE ERROR CORRECTION. Automatically alert you with a BEEP each time you press the key if the line of code you just entered contains an error. Or read the error listing and automatically searchs out errors, highlighting the line on which the error occurs, places the cursor as close as possible to the source of the error, and displays a simple English message describing the nature of the error. HotKey to each successive error and make your repairs "on the fly". * SET UP COMPILER and Binder with simple menu choices. Set up Debug, Trim, Optimization switches and more by making simple menu choices. The environment remembers your choices for the next time. No complicated command line syntax to remember. * CUT & PASTE from included libraries or other source files. Simply choose the library or file you want to use as your source and then "cut & paste" the functions, procedures, or complete code sections into your application. * AUTOMATIC CODE FORMATTING is accomplished to your specifications as defined with simple menu choices. Choose from different Ada styles, set up indent spacing, and then let the environment automatically format your Ada code "on-the-fly" each time you press the key. * COLORED SOURCE CODE is standard on all systems with a Windows interface, such as IntegrAda for Windows, IntegrAda for Windows/NT, and Visual Ada95. These systems also feature multiple document interfaces (MDI). You Pick the Colors. * MULTIPLE TARGETS are possible by simply setting a switch on the Compiler Menu to target 80x86, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486. Code can then be optimized for that target. Some systems, such as IntegrAda/386, offer both SMALL & MEDIUM memory model 16-bit and LARGE 32-bit capabilities. Each is selectable from a simple menu. Other systems allow targeting both DOS or WINDOWS development by simply selecting the operating system of your choice.
