Sorry for the misleading Qs.

> What do you mean by "unix version Ada compiler"?
Is there an Ada compiler running under Cygwin or mingw? Not the GNAT Ada95
compiler/debugger (adagide/gdb) for windows.

> What is it about Unix that is inconvenient?
i'm a beginner of unix, haven't got used to the command line format of unix
yet. That is what i really mean.
