O'Yes ! I know about ObjectAda (too big for me to download !) Thanks! I'm
now downloading GNAT/AdaGIDE. ObjectAda do have a free Special Edition but
it do have significant restrictions.

I'm only interested in Ada and other languages (ALGOL, Modula-2, PL/I etc)
as a hobby ! :) I'm using QBASIC and also BCX
(http://www.users.qwest.net/~sdiggins/bcx.htm).

Delphi, Java, Perl and PocketStudio (www.pocket-technologies.com) is the
langauges that I use for professional work ! :)
