gnat user's guide

Has anyone put together a gnat user's manual (explanation of gnatbl
command-line arguments, etc.)?

Isn't that what gnatinfo.txt is? ;-)

I would not call gnatinfo.txt a "gnat user's manual", but it is reasonably 
complete at least with respect to basic issues like this. The question
makes me guess that you are trying to use GNAT without having read
gnatinfo.txt. This is a definite mistake. All distributions of GNAT
come with gnatinfo.txt, so it is definitely available. It certainly
contains documentation for gnatb and other utilities!

We have under preparation more comprehensive documentation (for a preview,
look at the GNAT manuals that come with the SGI product).

The SGI GNAT documentation (like all SGI documentation) is available at
the following URL:

   http://www.sgi.com/Technology/TechPubs/

The GNAT documentation can be found by following the links:

      Catalogs -> Irix 5.3 Catalog -> Compilers -> Ada95 Compiler Manual Kit

Enjoy!

Two caveats: One this documentation is quit SGI specific at some points,
and two, it is out of date in several respects. But it is definitely the
starting point for the documentatoin we are preparing.
