I guess that means even the non-DOS ports of GNAT (Linux, OS/2, OpenVMS,
Windows) have to be kept separate from the "regular" gcc/gpp?

I'll be curious to look for GNAT 3.13p or 3.12p, will want to see if they use
any files from EZ2LOAD GNAT 3.10p. Last Walnut Creek ASE2 (Ada & Software
Engineering; Richard Conn, Editor) CDROMs, dating to November 2000, still had
EZ2LOAD GNAT 3.10, though Linux and OS/2 versions were up to 3.13p. Now with
Walnut Creek CDROM being taken over by BSDi and subsequently by Wind River, who
are not continuing the Ada CDROMs, is that the end of the line for Ada or ASE
CDROMs, or might somebody else take over?
I will be interested in the Linux version too. On the new computer I have
DR-DOS 7.03, also Debian (Linux) but not yet configured, plan to install
Slackware 8.0 (Linux) and NetBSD, possibly OpenBSD too, am avoiding MS-Windows.
Thanks for the links. Since I read and prepare responses to news and email
offline, I haven't browsed the links yet. But there was nothing linked from
http://www.adahome.com hinting of an EZ2LOAD newer than 3.10 from Sep 1998.
Just looked, it appeared GNAT 3.13p was not ready for release, they even advised
sticking with EZ2LOAD 3.10 for one who lacks experience with GNAT for DOS.
