Yes, yes and text.

Gnat Ada for OS/2 is one of the supported platforms, and implements
all of Ada83, and most of Ada95. It is available for free under the
GNU software license, and can be found on 

	Yallara, /public/100/gnat/os2

As well in the directory 

	Yallara, /public/100/gnat/contrib/..something...

there are OS/2 bindings (allows you to call OS/2 services). You will
still need a book on using OS/2 to know how to use such services.
