I ordered it and have it running on a PowerMac 6100. I have not yet done an extensive programming with it. It comes with MPW 3.2 and generates 68K code only. There is a full documentation for the compiler, for MPW, and a library gives access to Macintosh Toolbox. It is an Ada83 compiler, for which no further development is done. I forgot to check the price but it was around US$69, mid March '95. It took around two weeks to reach me here in Switzerland. In their catalogue, they give the following address (phones are given above): D. C. Heath and Company International Division 125 Spring Street Lexington, Massachusetts 02173 USA e-mail: dchintl@ccmail.eo.ray.com I still use GW-Ada for prototyping because the interface is closer of what I am used to for Macintosh programming (the interfaces of Think Pascal or CodeWarrior). -- Laurent Gasser (gasser@dma.epfl.ch) Computers do not solve problems, they execute solutions.
