Message-ID: <1994Nov30.191822.20165@roxi.rz.fht-mannheim.de> (raw)

Hello World,

There seems to be no faq around just now. So please excuse
a stupid beginner question.

How suitable is the GNAT compiler (on Linux or OS/2) for learning Ada?
The documentation says it's an (incomplete?) Ada 9X compiler while the
latest standard seems to be Ada 83. Does GNAT conform fully (well, in
practice) to the Ada 83 standard, or will I experience surprises when
working e.g. with J.G.B.Barnes' book?

Thank you.

Dirk
