Re: ANNOUNCE: GNAT Programming System

Arno,
thanks for the answer.  The mac version is based upon Apples update to
gcc 3.2 which has a lot of fixes to it, and our update to the ada code. 
Andrew and Alan Reynolds have done a lot of work on the compile to make
it work well with mac and fixed a number of bugs.  A couple of
companies have now ported ada products to mac using it, and i am using
it with our companies line of radar sims and it works great, so while
there are some things we would like to get fixed (like zero cost
exceptions for mac) we are pretty happy with how well it works.  

thanks jim
