Ada for Windows

Ada for Windows

[Kevin Davis]

I would like to know if there is a Ada compiler for the Windows
Operating system.  If you do please tell me where and how much it does
it cost to buy and where to buy it.

Kevin,
You have three choices @ the moment:
	Meridian Ada (1-800-653-2522)
	Integr Ada (advertisment in the current BYTE - near the back)
	R&R Ada (?)
all have  MS-Windows Ada compiler.  I have no experience concerning any of thes
e compilers
except for Meridian's DOS Ada compilers.  I was also looking for a MS-Windows A
da environment
about year ago.  At that time I was very disappointed with the offerings.  I am
 now using Borland's
Object Pascal.  BP provides me w/ most of the features I like about Ada (strong
 typing is top of the
list and limited use of pointers).  Of course it doesn't have a couple of real 
useful things (overloading,
generics are two that come to mind right away).

But I am again looking into Ada and MS-Windows, but I am not holding my breath.
