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? >Yep - see the site here: http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gnatdos.htm >There are binaries for GNAT 3.12p and GNAT 3.13p. >But if you don't need the latest GNAT gadgets (xref for gnathtml in .ali >files etc.) the EZ2LOAD (GNAT 3.10p) version is already quite interesting. >E.g. you already have the cross-unit inlinings (-gnatp) as well the usual >gcc optimizations.

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.
