It is quite possible to install GNAT on an OS/2 FAT partition. There are
a couple of minor glitches in past releases, but they are easily got by.
THe new release should be free of these glitches. We know lots of people
running OS/2 GNAT on a FAT partition.

Of course, in the absence of extra tools, you are stuck with 8 char file
names, and you may well want to use the -o switch of the binder to specify
an alternative name (otherwise the main program will be limited to 6
characters).

To stick to 8-char file names, either keep library unit names short, or use
the -gnatk8 switch to crunch longer names to 8 characters.
