Hi.
I tried GNAT301a on Win95 recently too. Whilst I've not used it in earnest 
yet, I found the same problem with the "system.ads" needing recompiling.
To get over this I tried re-"make"-ing the library. 
cd to the "adainclude" directory. There you'll find a makefile. Have a look 
in this and it tells you about recompiling the library and what to do with 
the compiled *.obj etc.. Then just type "make" in this directory. When 
finished,  copy the *.obj and *.ali(? i think - check iwhat it says in the 
makefile) to the lib directory. This worked fine for me.
