Hello,

    I was referred to use ADA (GtkAda...whatever the difference is) as my
language of choice for a certain product I was to develop in C++. Now I have
a very simple question, what gui compiler can I use to start practicing
coding little programs like Hello World and the like. (ie. MSVC for C++ is a
GUI, while Cygnus is DOS oriented) I'm looking for the MSVC equiv for Ada.

Many thanks,

- K

PS. C++ source code programs are .cpp, are Ada source code programs .adb ??
