DOS/WINDOWS ADA COMPILERS?

DOS/WINDOWS ADA COMPILERS?

[al.lively]

I am interested in learning how to use ADA, but I must admit I currently know 
very little about it.  Even though I was in the Air Force when ADA was 
a hot subject, I have been far removed from the fray for a few years.  
I would be interested in knowing ADA's current and planned future role
in DOD and/or other agencies.  

I would also be interested in knowing about current validated ADA compilers
for DOS and/or Windows environments.  

I appreciate any help and I hope to get up to snuff soon.

We have developed MS windows applications with Ada using the Meridian OpenAda compiler
with a good deal of success.  There were some initial learning problems and minor
idiosyncracis(sp?) but overall success.

For DOS and Windows Ada development systems I would suggest
Alsys' ActivAda.  It comes with an integrated development environment,
a GUI Builder tool for Ada/Windows code generation, and a 32-bit compiler.

It's a great product...(and I'm not saying
that just because I work for Alsys ;-)
