I am quite dismayed by the general lack of Ada support on the mac and I figure others are too. I have heard of compilers being ported to the mac, but a) I'd rather not wait and b) I imagine it would be quite a learning experience. Call me crazy. Anyways, would it be MUCH more difficult to write an ada 9x compiler than ada83? mike white
