Can we take a reality check here, ALL versions of GNAT are public! sure
ACT can call different versions "commercial" or "public" and charge a
"support" fee to provide you with a copy but you have the right to
redistribute them under the GPL. There should be no difference between
3.11b2 and 3.11p ( okay, bar the version printing header ) and if there
is (?), someone who works for
a company who have bought 3.11b2, should do the honourable, get
permission from their company and post it to alt.binaries.source.
if you're over 18 see the source header and send to root.
