IBM, green hill and others vendors start their Ada compiler systems 
around $500, of course it does go up from there but it is a one time 
free unless you want extented support.  The problem is to most that 
those compilers are limited at the movement to Ada 95 specs.

GNAT (non-PRO) is the only one that is free and open source.
