Hi everybody,
I have just a small question : Where can I get Ada? I
mean, I saw a post 2-3 days back in c.l.c++ about where Ic ould get it,
but, well, being primarily a PC user(I use Unix at school because I
must), I am not used to browsing the internet for stuff I want. So, to
break down my earlier question, could someone answer the following :
1) Where can I get GNAT (Ada95) for DOS/Windwos and OS/2(my
platforms of choice)?
2) Where can I get the libraris do do GUI(win or OS/2PM)
developpement, if they exist?
3) Where can I get documents to learn the Basics of Ada? I want
to know some becaus investing in expensive book.
Well, thats about all for now. Thanks in advance.

We are working on a Fresco implementation for Ada 95 (Fresco is the
X11R6 CORBA-based graphics and GUI system). We will have X/Unix, Win'95,
and Win NT versions later in 1995 (Q1=X, Q2=Win). Email info@ois.com
or ftp to sgi.com:graphics/fresco for further info.
: 3) Where can I get documents to learn the Basics of Ada? I want

I would suggest starting with the FAQ. The FAQ has a list of
suggested reading.

Thanks for the interest.

ftp to cs.nyu.edu, pub/gnat for both versions. There's no specific Windows
version, though there is a Windows-NT one. DOS and OS/2

These do not exist yet, though I am aware of an effort on an OS/2 PM
interface. Maybe he will write you or post something; I don't want to
speak for him.

Well, if you learn well from examples, there are a number of interesting
ones in the GNAT examples directory, and many more in the example
directories that come with GW-Ada/Ed-DOS, which you can ftp from
wuarchive.wustl.edu, languages/ada/compiler/adaed/gwu/dos.
A pretty good shareware interactive tutorial is available from wuarchive
in languages/ada/crsware/ada/adatutor and ../a9xtutor.
Hope this helps.

The PM bindings will be ftp'able by tomorrow, probably by this
evening. Watch this newsgroup for announcements.

Frustrated with C/C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
For all sorts of interesting Ada95 tidbits, run the command:
"finger dweller@starbase.neosoft.com | more" (or e-mail with "finger" as subj.)
