Meridian sells a NeXT Ada compiler (714) 727-0700

If you are looking for a free one, you can wait for the Gnu Ada9X* (GNAT) compiler
which should be done late this year.  They have first class experienced people on the
project and the GNU back end - so it should be a good compiler.  Or you can try to 
port the new Ada-Ed, which is (I think) some kind of P-code (like) based interpreter.
It runs on PCs and Amigas and perhaps others - look through the Ada FAQ and other files
on ajpo.sei.cmu.edu for more info. This new Ada-Ed is rumoured to be quite
usable, and should not be confused with the very slow SETL based Ada-Ed interpreter
used in the early 80's to experiment with the language design.
You could alse post to comp.lang.ada.

*Ada9X is the new version of Ada which improves (among other things) support
for object oriented programming, concurrency and hierarchical library units.
Features to support these areas exist in Ada83, but turned out to be limited in
some ways with experience.  Ada9X generalizes existing features for the most part,
rather than adding new ones.
