Subject:	NT 3.5 Gnu "C" compiler just released.

The second beta of Gnu "C" and Gnu Ada under NT 3.5 is out.  I invite anyone
who is interested to check it out.

It can be retrieved from cs.nyu.edu in pub/gnat as:
gnat-2.00-i586-ibm-winnt3.5-bin.tar.gz.  Get README first to learn how
to unpack it.  If you don't want the Ada compiler too, you can delete it
after installing the complete distribution.

This is not based on DJGPP, so any further comments or discussion should
be sent to me (drupp AT cs DOT washington DOT edu, rupp AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu) or
gnat-report AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu (Ada related stuff) or kenner AT vlsi1 DOT ultra DOT nyu DOT edu
(the official Gnu C guru)

It requires the Microsoft linker and SDK (i.e. header files) to run.  Part
of the installation massages some of the header files to make them
compatible with Gnu "C" syntax. You will get a massive number of
warnings when compiling GDI (graphical) apps because Visual C takes
a pretty liberal view of what is legal, but the ones I've tested work OK.
