And I don't like time-limited and feature-limited "free This is distinctly unfortunate. I asked Google for "Ada Compilers" and got a bunch of stuff, but the first several entries were for very old web pages with antiquated information. Eventually I saw directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Ada/Compilers and www.acm.org/sigada et al, but someone who didn't already know the answers already would have waded through a lot of unhelpful stuff first. Do a google search and see what I mean. Do the other search engines turn up more helpful information? What can be done to make it easy, instead of hard, for someone new to Ada to find a compiler?
