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. > As a matter of interest - given your requirement for 'free' software, > what other 'free' software do you use that has the facilities you > mentioned above? 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 ! :) -- Lennie De Villiers PL/I for Palm Project: http://www.crosswinds.net/~lennie2000/comp/PLI_Palm/ e (Exclamation) Programming Language: http://www.crosswinds.net/~lennie2000/comp/e_lang/ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 www.geekcode.com GB/CS/CC/IT/M d++ s:,s---:--- a-- C+++ P+ L+++ W++ N+++ K--- w++ PS t+ 5++ tv+ b++ G++ h-- !r !y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -- Romove ~ and 9s from email adress to reply --
