Hey guys,
   In gcc432.README, it says this:

"ada432b.zip  : Ada compiler (untested)"

Of course, I've heard that the Ada front-end compiles itself, so
that's better than nothing, right?

At the same time, I recently contacted Gautier de Montmollin about one
of his other projects, and I had forgotten that he uses Ada a lot. In
fact, he wrote a 3d engine back in the day with the DOS port of GNAT.
It was last compiled in 2005, so it should still work. I assume this
is a another good "test" for the compiler itself to make sure it
works, so hopefully you guys (Andris?) will find this useful. (I've
mirrored it due to the original site being down.)

http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ENG3D017.zip     (works in DOSBox but
oddly needs S3 TSR loaded first)

Note that I don't know any Ada myself, just trying to pass along a
little info in the hopes that it will prove useful (but NO WARRANTY,
heh).   ;-)
