It consists of as striped down version of Tennon's BSD 4.3 UNIX on the Mac product, and damn near EVERY gnu tool I know of, including gnat, g++, g77, emacs, kafee, an X server, OpenStep, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I can't get it to cooperate with my FreePPP internet connection, or was it Netscape/Mozilla, but other than that it has never locked up on me. I used it previously to do benchmarking of Ada code on the PowerPC 603e processor (PowerComputing PowerBase 180). Apparently the compiler is not yet very well optimized. That yields a performance of just slightly better than a pentium at similar clock speeds (assuming you can afford a pentium as fast as the SLOWEST (180 MHz) Mac:-). Compared to other U**X development environment like Linux, SunOS, or LynxOS, I was mightily impressed by this $100 product. What's even cooler, is that you can order it from http://www.tenon.com/ or just download some documentation to take a gander for free. For $400 you get a year of free support and upgrades, A commercial developer or school might like that, but I cannot break it. MS VC++ is more than that and the professional or enterprise version much more than that with LOTS less included cool stuff. This is a great product fo someone trying to learn Ada on their Mac. It will even produce Mac executables! This should be on a FAQ or Ada Home page (www.adahome.com, that's how I learned about it.
