There is no Borland Ada compiler at this time and I'm not convinced
that such a thing will exist any time in the near future. I doubt that
Borland sees any major return on investment for an Ada compiler project
and at this point, I couldn't argue with them. If more people become
interested in Ada through initiatives such as GNAT, then it's possible
that other vendors (maybe even Borland) will get into the Ada arena. I
hope this happens because mainstream Ada compilers like IntegrAda and
ActivAda are hideously expensive for a single user who will only use it
at home.
