My beginning Ada students have been able to create games, graphical output of computations, small text editors, and a whole range of interesting beginning level programs using it. You can download the most recent version of it from http://www.adapower.com. Caution. JEWL is intended for beginners. There is a lot of stuff that is not included. However, for someone who just wants to have some fun with Ada early in their learning, it is as easy to use as Ada.Text_IO and loads more fun. Richard Riehle
