For the moment I am learning Ada, so I am actually at the bottom. And I have no idea where is the top... :-) On my hardware I can play with : - our own Real Time OS written in C, and a GNU gcc tool chain together with an Hitex Windows IDE, - WinCE, we have a BSP for it and Embedded Visual tools which allows me to write C / C++, - and for Linux, a BSP and a gcc tool chain. And nothing for Ada. I have some interest in learning Ada, found an elegant and powerfull language, with nice features that could lead to something like Java "program once, run everywhere" but in a compiled fashion. So, I have bought nice books with stars and orchyds and started to learn both on a windows and a linux machine with AdaGIDE and GPS. I was not too much impressed by AdaGIDE and got some problems with GPS on windows so now I stick on my Linux machine with GPS and for the moment I am glad. That said, one can see that he absolutely must stop considering me as a future customer as I cannot afford the money to spend on tools for highly skilled personnel. I am just a beggar like Aqualung. Of course, if I could impress my customers with wonderfull tools and apps that might change... But for the moment, I feel a lack with affordable tools and libraries. That' all for today folks ! Tomorrow, I'll be on my Moto Guzzi with my wife riding to Corsica... No more computers for a few days ! Best Regards St=E9phane
