Somebody suggested the GNAT is going to skip one gcc release. And I frear 3.4 is just that version. While the 3.5 brach version at least compiles ok the 3.4 bracne has not produced gnat executables for the last 2 weeks. That is also the reason why there is no 3.4 release of ASIS. I do updates on both on a regular basis. Once you have the source the update does not take that long. With Regards Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
