Are you remembering that "gnatbl" in 1.83 does not create a .EXE file, but
rather a COFF executable.  If you create your executable with:

     gnatbl test1 -o test1

Then you can execute it with:

     go32 test1

or convert it to a DOS executable with:

     coff2exe test1

I've heard that "gnatbl" in GNAT 2.00 generates DOS executables directly.

By the way, send all problems with GNAT to gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu.  Your
welcome Robert.  8-)
