The AdaPower web site has links to several compilers. I have used
both the free Ada compilers available (Aonix and GNAT). Both come
with documentation on how to use the compiler.
The GNAT compiler also comes with a set of example programs and
a make file. You can at least read the make file to learn how to
use the compiler.
You claim that nobody could tell you what type of compiler exists.
Who did you ask? Most of the regular participants in this group
can answer that question. You found the AdaPower web site. You could
have found the answer there also.
How did you determine that the answers to your questions were wrong?
Could it be that you did not understand the answers?
