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. -- - Stephe
