There is no Ada compiler currently ported to the Amiga that I know of.

I have been off the net for the past few weeks and have not compiled all of the
responses to my request of Ada interest.  Off the top of my head there were 
thirty-five or so responses, several with multiple interested parties.

To Recap:

R&R Software of Madison, WI has said that there is some internal interest in
porting the JANUS Ada compiler (validated) to the Amiga, BUT there would have
to be significant interest expressed in the port (ie I think they would like
us to commit to buying the Amiga-based compiler).  Their current release sells
for $300.00 on the little blue box.  I would commit to the purchase if the 
port time was reasonable.

Another possibility might be the University of York Ada compiler.  I believe 
they several port in progress.
