NAME
powerada - Graphical user interface for PowerAda development.
SYNOPSIS
powerada [-h] [-gray | -mono] [project_path]
DESCRIPTION
powerada provides a complete graphical development environment for Ada programs. It provides operations on files, directories, sublibraries, and executable programs within a special UNIX directory structure called a project.
powerada has extensive hypertext on-line help. Use any Help pull-down menu, or hit the F1 key in any window to access context specific help, a toolset overview, the PowerAda User's Guide, and RM95 and LRM83.
A description of the interface itself is provided in Chapter 4, "The PowerAda Development Environment".
The powerada command runs the program in the background, so no '&' is needed after the command.
