For the PC?!? This is kind of like asking "Gee, I'm married
with 8 kids.
Can anyone help me get a cheap divorce and keep my child support to a
minimum?"
Not really - GNAT is free, as is the ADACAPS�IDE which runs with it.
Try ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu (at least I
think that's it :))
As a college student, why are you bothering with Ada anyway? My
recommendations:
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.
1) Learn C, C++, Java, and other language technologies that actually have
a future in the US.
2) Don't sweat Ada unless you get a job in a US DoD contractor's shop or
a
job in Europe, then let THEM pay you to work while you learn the language.
