Well, Tenon's CodeBuilder, which hosts the GNU Ada 95 compiler among others, is a UNIX, but it's also a well-behaved Mac application. You can use your favorite Mac editor (BBEdit, Alpha, MPW...) or the "built-in" editor vi. You can type "macmake myprog" or invoke your favorite QuicKeys macro. Etc. I'd say it's "fully-Macintosh", although it may be more like MPW than CodeWarrior. And the resulting applications _are_ fully stand-alone, royalty-free, double-clickable programs. Of course, CB is PowerPc only. >> P.S. I don't suppose there's any way to make use of my CodeWarrior >> investment while learning Ada...? Actually, objects produced by CW can be linked into CB. I haven't tried vice-versa, but that should work, too. And ZoneRanger is a useful tool in either environment. John ---------------------------------------------------------------- John B.
