I've followed your advice and almost successfully installed AdaWin95. But now new problem has occured.
Script file winlibs.ld is invoked when switch mwindows is used in the command line. The contents of the 
winlibs.ld is as follows:
SECTIONS {.text 0x401000 :{
...\gnat301a\lib\comdlg32.lib
...\gnat301a\lib\advapi32.lib
...\gnat301a\lib\gdi32.lib
}}
and above mentioned lib files are sought during linking process. However, such files do not exist. I've found 
only "similiar" files with dll extention, i.e. comdlg32.dll, advapi32.dll, gdi32.dll. 
My question is how to obtain the required lib files ? (I've followed all steps of installation process).
