Yup. We taught Ada 95 to 400 programming beginners each year, starting
1996, using Macs as editing stations and as terminals to a SPARC box running
GNAT 3.1*
It all worked a treat.
BTW if anyone has ready use of a SPARC box running a modern GNAT, I'd love
the chance to be able to port my KDF9 emulator.
