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.
