Thanks, The new compiler for the AdaOS project is going to be called ECLAT -- Experimental Compiler Library and Tools -- and I'm afraid it's still very much at the construction stage at the moment. I think a reasonable estimate at when the first version will be ready is 2005 or 2006, and it will incorporate the new features of a language revision, assuming there is one by then (which now seems likely). The first target will be IA-32 basic (based on the original Compaq386 PC) standalone. This will produce a directly bootable binary image, requiring no run time support, but with limitations (e.g. no tasking). Initially, there will be almost no optimisations. More targets and optimisations will be progressively added. There's no website for ECLAT yet. I'll start a project on SourceForge or BerliOS some time in the future. -- Nick Roberts
