GNADE? (I've downloaded it but have not had time to actually unpack it and look at what it does) I agree that Ada needs a full-up development environment that ought to include things like a database and a GUI. The problem is that the pieces are there, but not collected in an integrated, coordinated way, nor are they considered "Standard" in some respect so that developers can count on the interfaces being portable.
