Re: Ms-dos windows

[Marin David Condic <mcondic.nospam@acm.org>]

O.K. When I bring the example program up in AdaGide and hit the green "run"
button, the DOS window pops up and shows:

Hello World!
Enter An Integer:

When you enter an integer, it looks like this:

Hello World!
Enter An Integer: 6
Your Number + 10 Is:  16

A little dialog window pops up to let you terminate the program.

Did you hit the "compile" and the "build" buttons first to produce an
executable? (Without the .EXE, you should have seen a different result, but its
good to doublecheck that you have gone through all the steps and produced an
executable file.)

If this is not happening, you may have a badly installed GNAT/AdaGide. You may
want to try reinstalling it. Or there may be something wrong with the OS. I'm
using Win2k, but it ought to work properly on Win95/98/NT. Unless possibly you
have some problem with the OS being corrupted in some way.

Another thing to try is to run it from a command line. Open up a command line
window and set your default to the directory in which the Hello_World.adb file
exists. Type "gnatmake hello_world" and then type "hello_world" to see it run.
If this works, but AdaGide execution does not, then possibly you just have a
problem with the AdaGide installation.

Hope this helps.
