The closest thing to Delphi on Windows, that I know of, is Aonix ObjectAda. They have a free version, but it has imposed limits. The full up tool comes in about four different bundles. The Professional runs about $500, but you can get yhe basic IDE/GUI Builder for less than half if I remember correctly. Since Delphi is probably the premier GUI RAD development tool fot Windows, you'll be a little disappointed with the Aonix tool. Nothing else quite compares to Delphi for GUI development. But, you can get the job done with Aonix, just will a little more work. On our project, we use Delphi for the GUI interface and Ada for the real work underneath. We do use the Aonix GUI tool for writing utilities for working with the Ada code. It works pretty well.

I'm a Ada newbie ! :) What's the best FREE Ada compiler avialable for MS Windows ? It must have a powerful IDE (with code insight, RAD dev. etc), detail on-line help/documentation, samples etc. I will use Ada mostly as a hobby and for writting Win32 console application... As I already use Delphi for professional work. -- Lennie De Villiers PL/I for Palm Project: http://www.crosswinds.net/~lennie2000/comp/PLI_Palm/ e (Exclamation) Programming Language: http://www.crosswinds.net/~lennie2000/comp/e_lang/ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 www.geekcode.com GB/CS/CC/IT/M d++ s:,s---:--- a-- C+++ P+ L+++ W++ N+++ K--- w++ PS t+ 5++ tv+ b++ G++ h-- !r !y+ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -- Romove ~ and 9s from email adress to reply -- _______________________________________________ comp.lang.ada mailing list comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org http://ada.eu.org/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.ada
