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) Screenshots: http://web.archive.org/web/20071012222608/homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/gdm/e3d.htm 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). ;-)
