Have a look at any of the major Ada web sites for details on GNAT (GNU Ada 95, which is _free_ and available for all the platforms named above and many more) and other proprietary compilers, especially the ObjectAda series from Thomson. Indicative prices are on http://www.acm.org/sigada/education. These are educational prices, but you'd be quite amazed at the single-copy commercial prices these days. Contact the individual vendors for details. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
