Send me a mail http://sourceforge.net/users/gdemont ---- HAC - the Hacker's Ada Compiler =============================== Alternative name: Hello-world Ada Compiler Objectives: =========== - fun! - produce the smallest Hello-world executable! What HAC will never be: ======================= - a real, serious Ada compiler - there are enough serious ones! - a complete compiler - only a small subset will be covered History: ======== - 2009: a bit further... - 1999: translated Mac Pascal sources to Ada - 1989: SmallAda is derived from CoPascal; works only inside very system-dependent environments (a Mac GUI, a DOS GUI) ---- On 21 Feb., 10:11, Dimonax wrote: > Actually I've been learning my way around the Ada Runtime for similiar > reasons.
