Learn what you don't.--- In fact, i had the notion that GNAT didn't generate machine related code and that this job was devoted to something else, thought it was gcc. And thought that gcc was GNU C compiler :-( In this case, i just thought that GNAT would produce something portable across all its implementations. But i'm not sure it would be a high improvement versus source code distribution. I perfectly agree my ignorance and i'm glad to improve my knowledge. Cordially,
