The Janus Ada 80x86 Compiler from R.R. Software is cheap and satisfactory
for learning Ada.  It currently lists for around $99 (US) from The
Programmer's Shop (U.S. phone: 800-421-8006 or 617-749-2018).  If your 
looking for a site license or more capable products, you can talk to R.R.
Software Inc. directly at 1-800-722-3248.  Their mailing address is P.O.
Box 1512, Madison, WI 53701.

This cheapie compiler comes with some libraries, a (so far) not so useful
editor-environment, a turtorial, a make tool, its own special linker, and a
simple library manager.  It runs on and will generate code for PC-Clones.
John says check it out.
