Is that the American Dental Association or the Australian Desert Anteaters? Ada 
is a woman's name, not an acronym.

Ada-95 compilers can be very different between vendors, even on the same 
platform. For example, GNAT uses a source-file-name based approach to finding 
the source for compilation units on all platforms it supports, while Janu/Ada 
(Windows only) uses a compilation-library approach. The former is a bit harder 
to use if you don't want to use the default naming rules, but a bit easier to 
invoke if you do. The former is more flexible about file names and allows 
multiple compilation units in a single file, but may require an extra step 
before you can compile things.
