[comp.sys.mac.programmer] PD Mac ADA

About a few months ago I was looking through a few anonymous FTP sites
for Mac software and I stumbled across an Ada compiler called MiniAda
and even since have been kicking myself for not downloading it right
then.  Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and if so, would you
happen to know where I can get ahold of it?  I'm taking a file structures
class this semester and we're using Ada for it.  Anything is better
than software development on a VAX, and I don't want to have to resort
to Augusta on DOS.

If this is the MiniAda I know, its probably not what you're looking
for (I helped write it way back in '84).  It was used to compliment
a compiler writing class at Univ. of CA, Irvine.  It used a very
limited subset of the language and essentially allowed students
to view the various tables and internal mechanisms of a compiler (like
the symbol tables and state machine for the lexer.)
