I am looking for an Ada compiler for the Macintosh, anything would be good, but
one designed to work with MPW would be best. I asked this question a while
ago in a Mac newsgroup and got an answer, but the compiler wasn't shipping
then, and I have since lost the name of the company. Can anybody help me?
(This is for learning use, because my wife and I would like to learn the
language.)

I'm not sure of the name of the company but I have heard rumors of a MPW
Ada compiler for the Macintosh from the same company who makes an Ada
compiler for MS-Dos machines. The company is located in the Orange County
area of Southern California, and I think it's name begins with an "M".
Perhaps some people out in netland could fill in the details of my bad
memory.
Anyways the interesting thing about this compiler is that I heard they were
doing it by generating MPW C code which you then feed to the MPW C compiler.
I'm not qualified to judge the ramifications of this, but I don't think I
like it!
I hope this helps!

runs as a MPW tool. I'm not sure when it started shipping, but
I do remember it is not currently validated but is expected
to be by the end of the year. Meridian can be reached at

I believe that both Meridian and Alsys have Ada compilers for the mac -- I
don't know about MPW interface but I do know that these compilers are $$$ --
althought Meridian will sell a limited (demo) version for $99. I think the
Alsys requires a Mac II but I don't have the promos right on hand.
