IDE for gnat under Win95

IDE for gnat under Win95

[Martin C. Carlisle]

At the Air Force Academy, we have developed a Windows 95 IDE for
gnat (AdaGIDE -- Ada Graphical Integrated Development Environment)
that we are now using in our introductory core course (which
all freshmen are required to take).  Features include:

* Editor with context-sensitive color coding
* Compile/Build using gcc, gnatmake from editor-- double click
  on error message to go to line.
* Comment/uncomment blocks of code w/single button
* Help feature including example code and references to our text:
  "Ada 95 : Problem Solving and Program Design" by Feldman and Koffman
* Reformat capability that auto-indents code (under development-- does
  not handle all language constructs)

All source for AdaGIDE was written entirely in Ada using the Win32Ada
binding.

I have placed an executable install shield (zip'd) at our anonymous
ftp site:

ftp://ftp.usafa.af.mil/pub/dfcs/carlisle
see files README and adagide.zip

AdaGIDE is freeware, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public 
License (version 2).

This project is still under development, but is being used successfully
by students in freshman and sophomore level courses at the Academy.
