Re: gnat304 Daylight Saving Time problem (was: compiler errors in GNAT 304a (win95))

Where is 3.04a1 to be found, and will it work with, or totally replace,
the $50 CDROm version?  I tried www.cs.yale.edu and I find a 5MB file
there but Netscape seems to want to download it to my screen  for my
reading pleasure.  I try ftp and 
can't seem to find it (and ftp is verrry slow).

  The cost to me is a day's delay in a project, my time futzing in
c.l.a. and www 
and ftp, and charges by my phone company and ISP.  To me, those are not
insignificant
costs.  Perhaps other folks' time is worth less, it doesn't matter when
they finish
their projects, and someone donates free communications.  The price
charged by the
vendor is but one part of the cost of the product.  

It's especially annoying that a problem known in 3.01 was not fixed in
3.04, but only
in 3.04a, and no message to either current paying customers who bought
the known 
defective 3.04, and no general c.l.a. or gnat maillist warnings last
week.
