Could please expand on the above? Isn't Ada now part of gcc, which is free, like like g++ and all the other free development tools from gnu. If you want to buy a commercial C++ compiler, then are you saying that commercial Ada compilers are more expensive than the C++ ones? For me, a 'toolchain' means just a compiler, make, nice editor, and nice debugger would help also help. A GUI builder will also be good if I want to do GUI applications. --Nasser
