I'm a newbie Ada programmer with a reasonable background in other
languages.
I'm currently trying to get at some [complicated] functionality currently
in Ada 83 on AIX and can see two routes forward at the moment...
i) Compile it on AIX using the original compiler and call it [somehow :]
across a network when required.
ii) Compile it on NT using a 83/95 (?) compiler and call it locally when
required.
The application uses the Posix_Io package and I haven't tracked down a
validated version on NT.
Could anyone advise me if I'm being silly or whether I actually have a
reasonable chance of compiling it under NT, and which compilers would be
worth giving a try?
Any help gratefully received,
cheers
rog.

If you want a zero-cost compiler for NT, then you can use GNAT. You can
also try the zero-cost student (?) edition compiler from Aonix.

GNAT v3.11p is almost ready. As a matter of fact, it's being held up
specifically to get the NT port perfect.
