DOes anyone know where a translator may be located on the Net for downloading?
Otherwise I have access to gnatmake but I have no instructions on it. I think
it converts the Ada to C or something anyway. SO is it possible to get the c
code when you compile. ANy thoughts?
Thanks Craig

GNAT does not convert Ada to C.
You will probably not find an Ada to C converter, partly because Ada is a
much more advanced language than C and partly because it is so much better
that nobody would ever want to convert Ada to C :-) :-) :-)
Ada does have nice support for using C-code from an Ada-program, so maybe
you don't even have to convert it to C? Why do you want to convert it?

I guess I would always ask the target language folk how to translate
to their language. The proponents of the to-be-translated-away-from
language will never see why you would do such a foolish thing as
leave. Notice that nobody inquired as to why you wanted to translate.
I might add that it rarely makes economic sense to translate working
code into a new language, unless the old language can no longer be
supported, for whatever reason.
