GNAT compiles the complete language specified in the latest revision (1995) of the ISO standard for Ada, including all the optional Annexes, and has been formally validated on many platforms (I don't remember which ones). In my experience (only in my free time at home), GNAT works very well. The public binary distribution worked out of the box, but I also had no problems at all recompiling it with itself (except the common gcc parts, GNAT and its tools are written in Ada), on Linux/x86 version 2.0.11, with recent library versions. For information about GNAT see http://www.gnat.com For information about Ada in general (including the text of the standard) see http://www.adahome.com -- Marc Wachowitz
