I am a college student and I am having problems finding an Windows
based Ada compiler. The compiler I have now runs on dos and is made by
GNAT 1995. It works but the linking takes forever and a day. Also my dos
screen has shrunk to half my screen size when running GNAT editor.
Is there a site on the net where I can download and Windows 95 based
editor and compiler for Ada 95? If so please help me, thanks. If you
have a solution to the above problems, I would appreciate you input.
Thanks!

pcGRASP is a free Win95/NT IDE for Ada development, you can get a copy at:
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp
It is designed to use the latest version of GNAT, which you can get from
www.gnat.com.

If you find that linking on GNAT takes forever and a day, then almost
certainly one of the following is true:
1. You have not enabled a decent sized disk cache
2. You have too little memory. We recommend an absolute minimum of 16 megs
for running GNAT, and these days when 16 megs costs less than $100, it
makes excellent sense to go to 32 megs. If you are compiling programs of
any significant size, you will see a definite gain in performance from
moving to 64 megs, or even more. These days memory is cheap, and GNAT is
by no means the only program around to benefit from lots of memory!
