Thanks for all the hints. Now I am quite sure, that gnat
is the way to go. Porting the program should be easy. 
I already located a binary distribution for the Sparc 
platform: gnat-3.13p-sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1-bin.tar.gz.

>From SGI there exists an Ada95 Development System, which is 
based on gnat 3.14 suite and thus is GPL, too. Does anyone 
out there have media for this (i.e. for gnat_dev 
1.4 for IRIX6.5, approx. 160MB)? 

Is anyone out there using this and does it require a 
valid lecense of the MIPS-Pro compiler to work?

Thanks and best regards,

   Erik.
