In 5 years the current MS Word will require a 533 Mhz Octium to scroll not too slowly in your 1-page letter - and 64M free RAM to avoid virtual memory swapping, i.e. a total 256M, because of the latest Windoze with its new feature of rotating the 3D booklets (whose ancestors, the windows, could only be moved in 2D). Back to GNAT: the DOS 3.07 version of GNAT (ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load/) is much faster than the 3.05 one ...and it runs under windoze 95! ...and the compiled programs run under DOS and windoze 3.x too! N.B.: I use it under DOS (OpenDOS 7.01, http://www.caldera.com) to have the maximum memory and processor power for programming. Cheers Gautier
