I had the pleasure of trying out GNAT for a PC running OS/2 2.1 at Tri-Ada 93.
Thanks very much to Robert, Ed, Chris, and the others for the opportunity.
A lab at Tri-Ada was an excellent idea.

I worked with the Ada 9X demo program they provided and modified it, adding
my own package.  Just a hundred lines of code or so.

Some data (for what it's worth ... realize that 1 100+ line program is just
the beginning of an experience):

  Compile time/file (20-80 SLOC, counting only <CR>s): 5-15 seconds at 55MHz
(486), up to 30 seconds at 20MHz
  Bind time (system): 20 or 35 seconds (55MHz or 20MHz)
  Executable size: 49K (!!!!!)
  Execution time of EXE file: <1 second

Overall, I was quite pleased.  Definitely tolerable, and it's 9X!

Rick
