| Please send me your opinion and answers to my questions:

Look at these pages:

http://www.adaic.org/intro/
http://www.adaic.org/jobs/
http://www.AdaPower.com/

| 2)Does exist any tool and library for GUI design with ADA 95
|    on Windows 95/NT or X-Windows, comercial or free ?

Here is one that is free. 

http://gtkada.eu.org/

| 4)Is learning ADA 95 and profesional programing, debuging
|   easiest than do this in C++ ?

Personally I find Ada95 easier to learn than C++. 

One of the big advantages with Ada 95 is the strict typing. This means
that the compiler will catch a lot of your mistakes and tell you. Thus
you find many of the bugs at compile-time rather during execution of
the program (if using a less strict typing language). Therefore you
will probably be able to reduce time you have to spend with the
debugger. I'm using the GNAT Ada95 compiler (http://www.gnat.com). I
find it very good. Not only does it tell me that I have done something
wrong, but sometimes it can also spot the reason why it is wrong. Like
yesterday I had forgotten to put:

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; 

in one of the files, and the compiler suggested that there might be a
missing Text_IO as I was trying to use Put_Line. 

One also has the ability to turn on style checking. That is the
compiler will check for proper indentation of the code and other
tihngs. This is very nice for a newbie like me at least.

But other Ada 95 compilers might have the same nice functionality, I
have just tried GNAT.
