GNAT for Microsoft Windows

GNAT for Microsoft Windows

[Cheryl Marquis]

'Mornin all.

I know this has probably been asked to death, but I normally
don't pay too much attention to the tools for Microsoft Windows
announcements.  

A colleague of mine has just finished an Ada class and wants to
play (he thinks Ada is way cool BTW :D ) with a compiler for 
Windows.  Would one of you kind souls please point me in the right
direction to find the GNAT Windows port (if there is one).

Thanks very much and if I don't post again before the holidays

 "Happy Holidays to all!!"

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.)

My thanks to all who responded.  I really appreciate the answers.

Just as an FYI, I'll summerize the responses:

Basically there are ports for WindowsNT and DOS, but nothing really for
Windoze itself.

Thanks again and happy holidays.
