Not really - GNAT is free, as is the ADACAPS�IDE which runs with it.
Try <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu">ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu</A> (at least I
think that's it :))

<BR>As a college student, why are you bothering with Ada anyway? My
<BR>recommendations:
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Some universities and colleges, like mine now use Ada rather than Pascal
and C for teching programming. I was forced to learn Ada 83 and now
Ada-95 just because my Uni. decided to change my course on me.
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<BR>1) Learn C, C++, Java, and other language technologies that actually have
<BR>a future in the US.
<BR>
<BR>2) Don't sweat Ada unless you get a job in a US DoD contractor's shop or
a
<BR>job in Europe, then let THEM pay you to work while you learn the language.
