Hi all,
I'm a Fortran 9X programmer, and I will probably pick a job requiring to
program some embedded system (no rocket science, I was told one of that
system will control a sterilization device).  I was told that C is the
only high level language available for the (at this writing yet
unspecified) micro in such system.  But for what I know Ada should be a
better choice ...
So:
1) There are Ada tutorials geared towards Fortran programmers ?
2) Are there Ada compilers/translators with a C output for situation in
which C is the only high level language available ?

Thanks in advance for your reply
