Hi Scott,

gant 2.03 is pretty old.  The current version for NT/Win95 is 3.04a,
available as ftp://cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat/setup_gnat304a1.exe.gz

The file can be decompressed with either WinZip of gnu tar for NT.  Then,
the resulting .exe file is simply executed -- it's a self-extracting
archive.

One of the things that was fixed in this version (and required patches in
earlier versions) resulted in any files compiled before the onset of
Daylight Saving time this past April, becoming out-of-date during Daylight
Saving Time.

In addition, a number of other important bug fixes have occurred since 2.03

I hope this helps
