Hi There,

I have been looking into Ada for hobby programming.
(I am a professional Cobol / Visual Basic programmer with small amounts of
experience in about a dozen of other languages)

I have read the FAQ, browsed www.adahome.com but still had a couple of
questions I hope someone can answer.

1.  Can Ada (Assume gnat) produce standalone Windows executables?  If so,
how big are they compared to equivalent C executables? If no, how many files
would need to be distributed to run the application?

2.  Are there "good" libraries available for GUI, Winsockets and database
connectivity?

3.  Are there any DirectX or libraries available for making games? (I have
read the history of Ada and understand the goals but that doesn't mean Ada
can't be used for fun!!!)

Thanks,

Ray Smith
