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.

                                               Randy.
