I would like an Ada compiler to run on my PC, MSDOS or WINDOWS, 
that is compatible with the one that my univeristy uses.  

Basically anything but ADA9X.

One other problem that I have is the lack of case, if anyone knows 
of a location from which I can down load a fairly good compiler, 
please tell me.

Thanks 

Andrew

Ada 95 is very close to upwards compatible with Ada 83, so you will find
that an Ada 95 compiler is in practice "compatible" with the Ada 83 compiler
you are using at the university.

Furthermore, GNAT has a -gnat83 switch which enforces most of the Ada 83
restrictions.
