Greetings,

I've been a long time user of Pascal and I'm worried that my compiler
of choice, gpc pascal for MacOSX, may fall over in the next release of
MacOSX. The good folks that have supported gpc Pascal over the years
are unlikely to do the job on an ongoing basis. So I need a plan B
which currently is to port my roughly 1 million lines of code to Ada.
My worry is that I might run into the same problem with Ada -- can I
be sure that Ada will continue to be part of the GCC compiler suite
for a long time?

Many thanks, Leo
