ftp to cs.nyu.edu, pub/gnat for both versions. There's no specific Windows
version, though there is a Windows-NT one. DOS and OS/2

These do not exist yet, though I am aware of an effort on an OS/2 PM
interface. Maybe he will write you or post something; I don't want to
speak for him.

Well, if you learn well from examples, there are a number of interesting
ones in the GNAT examples directory, and many more in the example
directories that come with GW-Ada/Ed-DOS, which you can ftp from
wuarchive.wustl.edu, languages/ada/compiler/adaed/gwu/dos. 

A pretty good shareware interactive tutorial is available from wuarchive 
in languages/ada/crsware/ada/adatutor and ../a9xtutor.

Hope this helps.
