actually i should have read past=20

You can compile the program using the following command ($ is used as the c=
ommand prompt in the examples in this document):

 =09
$ gcc -c hello.adb

gcc is the command used to run the compiler. This compiler is capable of co=
mpiling programs in several languages, including Ada and C. It assumes that=
 you have given it an Ada program if the file extension is either `.ads' or=
 `.adb', and it will then call the GNAT compiler to compile the specified f=
ile.

because i got the following error:

   error: invalid value 'ada' in '-x ada'

still do. but Dmitry answer was perfect and worked.

thanks jeff, i will try read that documentation to the end.

hey, but don't go to far though, i'm sure i will have questions.=20
this is day one of learning ADA.
i'm using an old book though ada 95 program solving and program design, 2ed=
.

thanks again,
