If you want to try it look for GNAT (GNU/Ada compiler) or Aonix ObjectAda which make available a free (yet limited) version of their compiler. > Is this Ada that help Charles Babbage with his counting machine? No. Ada first normalization was on 1983 named Ada83. The second norm was from 1995 which is called Ada95 or just Ada at this point. To learn more about Ada: http://www.adapower.com Look for the AdaFAQ, but there is also plenty of resources there.
