Not for MacOS.  I use LinuxPPC, with a home-grown port of GNAT v3.11p.
Monitor the gnat-list for a (non-ACT) port of v3.12p to LinuxPPC.

<http://www.linuxppc.com/>
<http://www.linuxppc.org/>
<http://www.gnuada.org/alt.html>

There may be a GNAT port available soon for Debian GNU/Linux.

I actually prefer the Linux environment, since there's never any
conflict with MacOS (no crashes, etc), and I get a real Meta key, which
makes emacs use a lot easier.

I was never happy with the support I got from Tenon anyway.  Apps
weren't ported to their shell; the shell would crash and bring down my
machine; email asking for help went unanswered.

My life would be a lot simpler if I'd just give in and buy a Wintel box,
or switch to C++.  But I prefer to tilt at windmills, so I struggle to
use Ada95 on a Mac...  Oh, well.

Things will be easier once ACT makes public versions of their LinuxPPC
port available, but that probably won't be at least until v3.13p.

constitutional separation of church and state but also to the moral and
intellectual integrity embedded in that constitution.
