I keep seeing messages like this in this Ada group, and I keep seeing messages
about how _expensive_ Ada compilers, etc. are.  A great many people out there
are asking about PD Ada compilers/interpreters but I've seen no answers.

Do *any* PD Ada compilers/interpreters exist?  Or are all of these people asking
the same FAQ and not getting any answers?

I don't see how any PD Ada compilers could exist.  Ada is a rather large
language and for DoD work must be periodically certified.
