EZ2LOAD is a _full_ package. If it refuses you something, it means you
didn't run the gnat310.bat initialisation batch-file (add "call gnat310.bat"
in autoexec.bat e.g.) which sets the variables to run GNAT (ADA_INCLUDE_PATH
etc.)... gnat310.bat is generated by installation program (ginstall.exe).
NB: Ada "includes" are rather called specifications; they are not just texts
pasted like headers in (macro-)assemblers but are checked by compiler
to be conformant with the body part...

So don't search too far... the new GNAT/DOS 3.10 has just been released
@ ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load/

Do you have a 16-bit method via interrupts or in/out ports ?
In that case you could try to translate to GNAT/DOS via dpmi library calls.
See SVGA pack as example for start...
