The answer to this used to be `yes', but it isn't anymore. All of the
above are available for Windows 95:
GNAT: http://ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat/labtek/index.html
GCC: http://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/latest/readme.html
EMACS: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html
The GCC port is particularly interesting, since rather than adapting the
code to Windows, Cygnus has written a "gnu emulation" layer
(cygwin32.dll) that makes Windows look like gnu (aka Unix). This means
that all of the gnu utilities will soon be available for Windows. ACT is
currently port GNAT to this environment; I hope someone is doing emacs.
