It is also my understanding, from reading Apple's developer info on MacOS X, that the native development environment for MacOS X is/will be GCC and GDB, so at the least Apple has done this port for Objective-C (C/C++?). From there I suspect that adding GNAT would not be difficult at all. Matt -- __________________________________________ Matthew Majka - Systems/Software Engineer Honeywell, Inc.
