The compiler system itself is built on the great tradition of our validated Ada line, ensuring that 99% of existing code is compatible with Ada 95. Perusing the list of feature changes will reveal that much of Ada 83 has been greatly improved. All of Ada 95's powerful features can be used in Windows 95/NT (Win32) applications, including type extensions, polymorphism, run-time dispatching and hierarchical libraries. Especially useful are the record representation clauses and pragma interfaces which allow both sensible handling of unusual Win32 data structures and for interfacing to foreign languages.

Win32 Portability
With Win32 your Win 95/NT applications may be quickly ported to Microsoft Windows 3.1, allowing you to directly run your Win32 binaries. The Janus/Ada 95 provides three levels of interfaces to Windows, from a complete binding to the Windows API to complete support for the Ada 95 input/output libraries, allowing existing Ada programs to be effortlessly recompiled as Win32 applications.
