Re: ANNOUNCE: GtkAda 1.2.11

[Al Christians <achrist@easystreet.com>]

Does the windows version work?  I download GtkAda-1.3.11.exe and 
nothing happens when I run it.  From the command line (WinNT 4.0 SP6)
it says can't be run in DOS mode. From the desktop, an apparently 
blank console windos appears and vanishes in a fraction of a second.
