ADA 9X for OS/2

ADA 9X for OS/2

[mp52]

Some time back I received a message that said there was a port of GNAT for
OS/2.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it greatly.
I'm taking a Reusable SW class at SEI and need Ada.  Thanks for the assistance.
Please email at the address below.

I obtained GNAT for OS/2 on the Walnut Creek Ada CDROM set; according to the
package, this pair of CDROMs is a copy of the Public Ada Library (PAL).  It
did compile the included test programs correctly, after installation was
completed.

This is true, but the version on the November CD-ROM is 1.83 and NYU has
already made one more official OS/2 release and is very close to another.

GNAT is an evolving work, and it is not terribly wise to depend on an
older version for very long. With releases emerging faster than the CD-ROM
is updated, there really is no alternative to ftp-ing the latest from
NYU, cs.nyu.edu, pub/gnat. All available ports are there.

FTP may be a pain for some, but it is worth the effort in this case,
until the pace of GNAT releases slows. As far as I can see, each release
is a significant improvement over the previous one, with features added
and bugs fixed, and there are few regressions.

There is also a EMX "port" (;-)  of GNAT-2.00 available.
I have adapted GNAT-2.00 OS/2 to the emx/gcc. ( because of the gdb )
It fits right on top of the emx09a +fix01.
Bill Yow's PM-bindings are also included ( see changes in the
readme file ).

It is available at "ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/programming/Ada/GNAT"
File names : "gnat-2.00-OS/2-emx_*" and fits onto two disks.

Later,

Watch NYU's site for 2.02, which is in the Real Soon now category.
SunOS and DOS are out now, and (I think) Linux. OS/2 not far behind.
