They have a free version, which includes the GUI Builder, but both have limitations. Hopefully, it's enough for you to learn what you need. I use the Professional Edition (about $595), but they have at least one cheaper version.

Having just discovered Ada as an interesting alternative to other imperitive programming languages with which I am competent, I downloaded and installed GNAT 3.14p on my Windows 2000 system only to find that there is no graphical IDE supplied (GNU Visual Debugger excluded). (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.
