Re: Free Ada83 compiler for older Solaris/SPARC or IRIX?

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

You can use any version of GNAT Ada that works on SPARC/Solaris 
and add the command line option "-gnat83". Also you can insert the 
"pragma  Ada_83 ;" in the source code. But most of the true Ada 
83 only compilers are not available for download any more.

As for the "plot/draw commands for graphics". For the most part,
you will have to write them. Because the free Ada compiler only 
have the standard Ada libraries define in the LRM.  But you 
might check on Adapower.com, they have some sample programs 
that might have what your looking for.
