Both the Irvine and Rational (now part of PTC) compilers have Ada05 versions as I understand it. The current version of Janus/Ada supports some Ada05 stuff (and all of the syntax). (The working version does the same for Ada 2012 -- but of course that's a long way from being an Ada2012 compiler.) Randy.
