It's a standard >that defines how systems utilities are called, at the assembler level. The original poster's code did not call any system utilities via any ABI (unless you call a DOS int 10 call part of the ABI) and did not pass any parameters, so there's no question of order, who pops the stack, etc. I thought that sort of thing was what Convention was about. In any case, I think the original question, so far unanswered, is how to link something generated in the standard ways, with Gnat. If it won't even link, it's irrelevant whether it will run.
