Thank you very much for the advice. I have just installed the software
and I'll start to use it and learn thereby ADA programming which I have
postponed due to laziness up till now. I am very happy to know also
that it has support for C so that some of my C codes would be reusable.
Besides it happens to be my luck that the software is a major new
version released only a few months ago.


Out of curiosity I have a tiny question: Does the software somehow
finds out during installation whether the architecture on which it is
installed is 32-bit or 64-bit and correspondingly chooses the most
efficient way for machine code generation?
