My company is currently considering converting a multi-program, multi-
processor, Solaris-based application (~800K lines of code) written in Verdix
Ada (SunAda3.0) to a "to be determined" Ada vendor.  GNAT Ada95 is one of
these compilers under consideration.  I'm looking for opinions from people
who may have used GNAT in a large-scale development effort such as ours or
perhaps did some trade studies that resulted in a GNAT go/no-go decision. 
What were your experiences, good or bad?  Why did you choose/not choose GNAT?
 Would you choose GNAT if you had to do it all over again?  If you paid for
and used the support from Ada Core Technologies, how was it?  What kind of
development tools did you use, for example full-screen debuggers?  The
answers to these and any other opinions you might have would be greatly
appreciated.
