Yes, Meridian sells their OpenAda compiler and environment for the NeXT. They can be reached in the US at (714) 727-0700 - California time. Its fast, easy to use and pretty stable. I've found a few minor compiler bugs, but have easily worked around them. Its a basic Unix port, no NeXTSTEP GUI stuff or natural connection to NeXT IB - but they are talking about it. Let them know if thats important to you. My biggest dissapointment is that they use their own debugger which doesnt always work, instead of gdb. Most Ada compiler vendors do this to support concurrent tasks, but NeXT gdb already knows about threads. But the compiler is so fast, debugging with tracers is not nearly as painful as it sounds. It interfaces with C easily using the standard Ada pragma interface. I imagine you could interface with Objective C the same way by calling the objective C runtime directly. -- --------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore alex@cs.umd.edu NeXT mail accepted
