Re: Setting up an Ada hello world project

["markww" <markww@gmail.com>]

Hi Jeff,

This is the first time I'm using Ada, sorry if my questions seem
absoultely ridiculous to you. I am using GPS - GNAT for windows. I
created a new project called 'Ada_LinkedList'. I'd just like to be able
to output something to screen, I'm not sure how what the compiler
wizard created for me combines with the hello world snippet I found to
produce an exe which will do that,

Thanks,
Mark
