Don't "desert" the cause! :-) If I was 'deserting' the cause I probably wouldn't continue to look at this newsgroup, and I wouldn't have asked ACT if they had, or were thinking of having an Ada Compiler for Windows CE (incidentally I still haven't heard anything from sales@gnat.com and it's now been well over 2 weeks). Unfortunately however learning C++, DSP32C Assembler and Windows CE, all at the same time is a very steep learning curve for me so I can't really afford to put any effort into Ada.
