I am looking for an Ada compiler for the Macintosh, anything would be good, but
one designed to work with MPW would be best. I asked this question a while
ago in a Mac newsgroup and got an answer, but the compiler wasn't shipping
then, and I have since lost the name of the company. Can anybody help me?
(This is for learning use, because my wife and I would like to learn the
language.)

I'm not sure of the name of the company but I have heard rumors of a MPW Ada compiler for the Macintosh from the same company who makes an Ada compiler for MS-Dos machines. The company is located in the Orange County area of Southern California, and I think it's name begins with an "M". Perhaps some people out in netland could fill in the details of my bad memory. Anyways the interesting thing about this compiler is that I heard they were doing it by generating MPW C code which you then feed to the MPW C compiler. I'm not qualified to judge the ramifications of this, but I don't think I like it! I hope this helps! David M.

Meridian Software Systems, Inc. offers Ada for the Mac, and it runs as a MPW tool. I'm not sure when it started shipping, but I do remember it is not currently validated but is expected to be by the end of the year. Meridian can be reached at 23141 Verdugo Drive Suite 105 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 (800) 221-2522 (714) 380-9800 Disclaimer: I have no connection with Meridian and the above info is from their promitional literature. -- Dave Bakken Boeing Commercial Airplanes (206) 277-2571 uw-beaver!apcisea!hrsw2!bakken Disclaimer: These are my own views, not those of my employers.
