Where can I find one? I did an archie search and >found nothing of interest. > Good news! Several nice Ada/Ed's are now available at WUARCHIVE. The 386/486 version I presume you are looking for is an enhanced version of NYU's original Ada/Ed-C. At GWU we have added a Turbo-ish editor, character graphics and math libraries (included with credit to their developers), a searchable Language Reference Manual, and other such niceties. The executables are available at WUARCHIVE in the directory languages/ada/adaed/gwu/dos. See the sample anonymous ftp session with directory listings below. A very preliminary port of Ada/Ed to (large) Macintoshes, developed by Jacques Rouillard of Marseille, France, is in the directory languages/ada/adaed/mac. See the doc file there for details. The user interface is very nice and clever; the compiler has certain stability problems which you can read about in the doc file. These two distributions are in self-extracting archive form; the archives are sized to fit on high-density diskettes if you wish to download and redistribute them. They are free and freely distributable. The original NYU distributions are in languages/ada/adaed/nyu. The (large) tar file contains the Unix sources; other files provide DOS executables and sources as originally built by NYU. The sources for the GWU DOS and Rouillard Mac systems will be made available eventually, under GNU General Public License rules. Please understand that we are not yet putting up the sources because both systems are under very active development and we don't want horrible version control problems. In return for our putting these things on the anonymous archives, we would very much appreciate your sending e-mail to mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu, just to let us know you've become users. That will help us in our search for funding to continue doing neat things like this and giving them away. Good luck - have fun!
