	Well, all that i have seen working is various versions of PC Ada running under the emulator.
This is a question that comes up at this time of year on this group every year, and lots of people reply,
but very few of the questioners ever bother implementing it, because the chance of getting even a small
program to compile in a naff, memory-intensive language like ada, is v.slim indeed, esp. under emulation.

All of this is IMHO and if you wish to flame, please do it by mail...

So I know, someone try to port ADAED to the acorn Archimedes.
It's a tokenizer/executor for the ADA language, but it's currently not
validated (but it's earlier validated). 
If don't know, how much memory it will want, if it will be ready, but there
is a IBM-PC-version of ADAED, so I hope, the memory-requirement will not
be too much ....

Hi,

I am the person who is doing the port of ADAED. I am now half way with
the port, but at the moment my Archimedes 310 gets a memory upgrade.
To get ADAED compiling on the Archie I need more memory, thats why I
upgrade my machine. My friend who is doing this upgrade said to me that
it will take two weeks to do this upgrade (he has a normal job and is
doing this in his spare time). So I hope I can continue with it in about
two weeks (after two weeks I have a lot more spare time also, so the
porting should go a bit faster. At the moment I did the programming in
the weekends).

Bye,

Angelo
