Hi Marius,
Thanks for your reply. Do you know of any good ada compilers out there that
I could use. I am a beginner (last C programming was done 4 years ago and
VHDL 5 months ago) when it comes to ada. I don't really want to learn ada
and relearn C again. If I can save time by just learning some ada and
transport the code that way and add a GUI to it I think that will save me
alot of time in the long run. I dont mind paying for the compiler if what I
get is good (the company will pay), but it still needs to be relatively
cheap (<�500 GB). Can you recommend any?
Thanks
Naveed
