Glen,
You did not state if you wanted Ada83 or Ada95 compilers. The difference
is Ada95 is now an International Standards Organization (ISO) standard.
The _first_ and, currently, _ONLY_ Object-Oriented Language standard
(despite what the C++ people would have you believe ;-). Below is a list
of FTP sites where you can get Ada compilers. Note that the Ada95 GNAT
compiler, while available, is not public domain, but rather distributed
under the GNU License (did I get it right this time Robert :-? ).
Below is a list of U.S. based sites (at least the major ones) for getting
either Ada83 or Ada95 compilers.
Hope this helps.
Dave
-- -------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the sites which have Ada compilers. I have only expanded the
directories for GNAT since it is a compiler (the compiler) for Ada 95, the
choice of a new Ada generation :-).
(As of 2/27/95)
-- United States/North American sites
* cs.nyu.edu
/pub/gnat
-- main site (development site also) for distribution on GNAT (Ada 95)
-- compiler which is hosted for _lots_ of platforms. The features file
-- gives a list and description of the Ada 95 language implemented so
-- far for various platforms along with what hasn't been done, or remains
-- to be implemented.
