It is very odd indeed that you describe it as a nightmare. I have never
had problems with installing Gnat and it is very easy.

Well they are more userfriendly than Sun OS.

Yes. Did you:

1. Install AdaGide
2. Read the GNAT User Guide? In the beginning there is a hello world example.

To give you a very quick start:

write this (below) in a file called: helloworld.adb

-----------------------------
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;

procedure Helloworld is
begin
   Put_Line ("Hello World!");
end Helloworld;
-----------------------------

then simply run: gnatmake helloworld
now you can run the helloworld program.

No

And please, as a beginner be more humble, perhaps it is your ignorance
and not the rest of the world that is the problem!
