Thanks Dmitry;

I know now gcc supports GNAT ada. If I use gcc directly, instead of GPL GNAT 
2009 edition, would I be losing any features? I am  a bit confused why there 
are different GNAT versions around. The reason if would prefer gcc is that 
gcc is more likely to be installed on all Linux systems than GNAT itself, so 
if someone wants to compile the code, they would not have to download GNAT 
first, or is my thinking wrong on this? If I were to develope Ada code in 
GNAT, then may be it will not compile with gcc due to some features not 
being the same? I need to catch up on Ada, been a while...

I'll look at GTK for the GUI.
