Q: Ada-95 Compiler Recommendation for Win32

Q: Ada-95 Compiler Recommendation for Win32

[Hans Riedel]

Hi all,

I'm just doing the first steps to look up available Ada-95 development 
platforms.

I intend to develop desktop apps under Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 using Ada.
My experience is assembly language on various CPUs, Pascal, Delphi 
since about 15 years.

Main requirements are: Windows GUI / IDE, Resource-Editor, Debugger,
support of COM/DCOM, capability to interface to databases
 (e.g. Oracle 8), access to WinAPI.

What are your recommendations / experiences / pricing?

Any information welcome.

Thanks to all in advance,

Hans

Thanks to all for your advises that I received here and via e-mail!

At the moment I'm playing around with the ObjectAda 7.1 Demo,
but this seems a bit outdated.

Coming mainly from Pascal, Ada seems not too hard to learn, at
least the basics.

Ada-95 based RTOS

[xaplos]

I am aware of several commercial products
integrating Ada with C/C++ based RTOS, but is
there any open-source RTOS that is completely
written with the Ada programming language - from
the hardware-specific kernel all the way to the
