Perhaps it isn't obvious to a non-native English speaker, but "quality free
compiler" reads as "a compiler free of any quality" (or "a compiler without
any quality"). As Christoph joked, it isn't the least bit hard to find any
such compiler (although I would argue that that doesn't apply to any Ada
compilers, you'd probably have to look at C or some other language for such
a compiler :-).
You probably meant a "quality compiler that is free". I'd recommend GNAT for
that, as I don't think there is any likelyhood of finding a compiler for any
useful programing language that is better.
