Ada recommendations?

Hello all.

I've been lurking now for some time, and now I find myself needing to find
a workable multitasking environment for DOS 5.0/Windows 3.1. Although I'm
a hardware design engineer, I do most of my own software to test hardware
in Stony Brook Modula-2 and bits of Assembler. I've found this a superior
and workable replacement for C, which I *used* to think was the language I
needed for this kind of work.

I've had an introductory class in Ada, and used an early version of the
Meridian compiler for awhile. I liked a lot about the language, plus I have
been impressed with a very successful use of Ada for all flight and GSE
software for high altitude, long duration (up to 30 days) balloon flight
and GSE software, developed with Alsys Ada.

Anyway, I'd be very interested in hearing your recommendations and
comments.

Thank you in advance.
