Folks;

I am looking for comments on ObjectAda, and also suggestions on books.

For a little background:  I have done professional development in
Ada83 using Rational Apex (embedded avionics systems), and Borland C++
(Windows based satalite communications systems), and have done
"hobbiest" type work using Watcom C++ (OS/2 & Windows), gcc (Linux),
and Turbo Pascal (DOS).

I am looking at ObjectAda as something I can mess around with at home
to bring me up to speed in Ada95.  Also, my ideal system would have a
nice IDE, and good windows support.

So, with this in mind, I am looking for experianced opinions on
ObjectAda.  I am also looking for input on good Ada95 books.

>From the information on Anonix's web site, and from talking to their
sales people, it sounds like the way I would like to go.  However, one
item from the RR Software web site kind of bugs me (quoted below):

"ObjectAda: We have tested the demo with the 7.0 version of ObjectAda
Professional Edition. This appears to be the most
recent version available. ObjectAda still has significant problems
with overriding inherited subprograms. Therefore, we haven't
provided a version for ObjectAda. Aonix does not seem interested in
fixing our bug reports."

So, if anyone has any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear
them.

Thanks;
