Please concentrate on the language and not on the IDEs. I think you will get Adagide working as other reports that it is working on Win2k and when GPS comes you will have an excellent IDE. Note one thing now that you learn Ada: As Ada is a strict/strong typed language you may get a bit frustrated in the beginning that the compiler is complaining a lot. Note however that this is a good thing because it means that the compiler is catching your errors at compile time rather than let them pass and make a program that will crash at run-time as less strict languages do. Another advantage is that you get your code corrected with an explanation right away. In this way you learn Ada quicker. You will soon see that all the errors disappears. But just out of curiousity. You say that Ada is hyped? Preben
