I notice a lot of folks are encouraging you to stick with GNAT. I say if ObjectAda is more comfortable for you, use that. All compilers are going to have some differences in the code they will accept, but I have found those two compilers very compatable. You are not liable to run into many differences in any code you would have to write for an introductory course. Some points to consider: o As others have mentioned, there *is* a debugger for gnat available for download. I have used it on my home PC and found it somewhat unstable, but very good. o If you go with ObjectAda, I suggest you stick to gnat's naming convention for your source files. That will save you a little work should you have to use gnat in the future. o The free version of ObjectAda has limitations on the size your application can be. If your class has a large programming project, this may become a problem. -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
