Hello,

I'm looking to an ada compiler on Windows. Does anyone know one ?

Meridian now sells one. It is, in my opinion, a decent piece of work.
It implements a "thin" binding to Windows, which is to say that the
Windows API is translated rather directly to Ada calls. The advantage
of this is, I suppose, that we can use all those "How to Write
Windows Apps" texts that express everything in C.

Send e-mail if you need more info.

Yeah, Meridian makes one which they are actively promoting.  It does
suffer rather severe performance problems directly attributable to the
sloth of Windows.  Unfortunate, this.  To have tools run fast, there
has to be some reasonable operating system underneath.
