I have GWA ADA 1.4.2, but it does not support this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I program in ADA on a Sun Sparc 5, but need this for homework." Robert, first of all, the language is Ada, not ADA, Ada is a woman's name. Ada fans care about this distinction, they do not want to be confused with dentists and democrats :-) Second, I assume you mean by shareware something you can get free (shareware is something quite specific, and does not include most free software). Third, the answer is unfortunately no at the moment, but we hope to see a GNAT appear for the MAC shortly, but not, I fear in time to complete your assignment. Why is it so important to compile generics separately. Why not put them in separate files, and then just concatenate these files for GWU Ada?
