Both Sun Ada and SPARCworks are products from SunSoft Developer Products (previously
known as SunPro). If you are an Ada user, the following products will be appropriate
for you:

On SunOS 4.x (also known as Solaris 1.x):
	Sun Ada 1.1		: The Ada compiler and commandline tools
	SPARCworks/Ada 1.1	: The GUI tools for fast program development
	Sun ADE 1.1		: The combination of the two above
	(ADE: Ada Development Environment)

On SunOS 5.x (also known as Solaris 2.x):
	SPARCompiler Ada 2.1	: The Ada compiler and commandline tools
	SPARCworks/Ada 2.1	: The GUI tools for fast program development
	SPARCworks Professional Ada 2.1	: The combination of the two above
	SPARCworks/iMPact Ada 1.0	: Multithreaded Ada on Solaris Threads

So, SPARCompiler is the generic name of the Sun compiler. SPARCworks is the generic
name of Sun's GUI-based productivity tools.

Hope this helps. I need to know more about your environment and version number of the
tools to give you more info. Most probably, you are using Sun Ada for Ada development
and SPARCworks for C, C++ or Fortran.

I will be glad to answer any other question.
