Here it is:

Assuming the ada files are in the current working directory:

$ ACS LOAD *.ADA
$ ACS RECOMPILE/LOG *

That's it.  It does on very rare occasions involving complicated generics
require a repitition of the last line.  If you want to see the order it 
compiled them, try 

$ACS RECOMPILE/COMMAND=[]COMPILE_EVERYTHING.COM 

and it will generate a command file for you rather than actually doing the
recompile.

You can also do the original two lines (load/recompile) and then do

$ ACS SHO PROGRAM/OUT = CLOSURE.LIST  

if you just want to see dependencies.  
There are other options.

Good luck,
