Georgi Savov asked about Ada development environments for Windows NT/95.

I'm using gnuemacs and gnat, and I love it. Many kudos and thanks to 
labtek for making gnat easy to install and use, and to Geoff Voelker 
for making emacs easy to install and use.

See:

ftp://ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat/

PS. At one point I had an http pointer for LabTek, but I seem to have 
lost it. Can someone send it too me? It isn't on Home of the Brave Ada 
Programmers!

Georgi -
Check out ObjectAda for Windows from http://www.thomsoft.com - it's a
winner, for sure. You'll also see our customer's comments support that
notion...

Good luck to you!

I'd just like to respond to this a bit. We currently are using the
old Telesoft RISCAda compiler for SUN and MIPS and ActivADA for NT
along with a beta ObjectADA for NT so I'm not unfamiliar with 
TSP compilers. In my opinion the quality and features of the NT
products is nowhere near that of the TELESOFT one. I'm talking
about environment here, the code generators, etc. are no doubt
great but in terms of a graphical ADA development environment
nothing beats ARCS and RISCAda for interfacing to the library,
editing, pretty printing. I'd like to see the NT compilers 
going in that direction instead of the M$VC style of GUI
which IMHO is not suitable for ADA.

All this not to say that I don't like ActivADA and ObjectADA,
the support from Thomson for ObjectADA (especially a beta) has
been exemplary, I guess I'm just a UNIX geek at heart.

just my 0.02.
