"Ada 95 compiler NOT installed...

[DPH]

Simple stupid question:

I installed (I thought) the GNAT Ada 95 compiler on my Win 98 OS PC.
Any attempt to compile a program with a .ada extension results in an
error message, "Ada 95 compiler NOT installed on this system".  This is
using the Ada GUI IDE.  Well, I thought I installed it when I expanded
the 17 megabyte file I downloaded called gnat-3_11p-nt.exe.  Did I
expand the wrong file or what?  TIA for any insight.

Thanks, Pascal.  I knew it would be something wierd - that's why I said,
"Simple stupid question."

That's a truly unhelpful error message... hope they're not all like that!
