I'm glad to see this parenthetical remark!  We need more of it.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a GNAT Windows port.  If you are
referring to Windon'ts 3.0, 3.1 family, these are 16-bit address
subsystems.  GCC, however, is a 32-bit address compiler.  If you are
referring to Windon'ts/NT, check out cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/gnat-2.00-winnt... 
One can use DJGPP with GNAT in plain ol' MSDOS, check out
cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/gnat-2.00-dos-bin...  (BTW, i don't have my list of
filenames right in front of me, so I'm probably off a little.  The
network address is correct, tho.)
