(Aside: why is it that most providers of programming tools try to force command-line interfaces on Windows users? What could be more unnatural than a command-line interface on Windows or, for that matter, Macintosh?) Not quite ready to dispair yet, I downloaded a separate program called AdaGIDE, which supposedly is compatible with GNAT and Win95/NT, but, as it turned out, not with Win2K (incompatible virtual device driver). :-( Are there alternative GIDEs available? Obviously in the learning phrase I would want to minimize my outlay, at least until such time as I'm comfortable programming in Ada and quite sure it is what the "hype" makes it out to be. Thanks in advance, Daniel
