The only restriction is that you have to put the spec and the body in the same file. This is an Ada/Ed limitation. BTW - there's an electronic discussion group for GW-Ada/Ed - see below. If you want an Ada 95 DOS compiler that's mostly done except for tasking (on DOS, that is), go for GNAT, from cs.nyu.edu, pub/gnat. You need to install djgpp - get the djg112m2.zip file from NYU as well. Read the documentation before proceeding. A DOS editor, GW-GNAT, is in pub/gnat/contrib/gwu. Mike Feldman --- To users of GW-Ada/Ed: We are happy to announce the formation of an automated mailing list for discussions about GW-Ada/Ed. We get a lot of repetitive e-mail on this subject, so we decided to make the discussions public. Several of us at GW will be regularly reading and responding to messages from this list. To use the list, you must first subscribe. Send an e-mail note to listproc@seas.gwu.edu. The subject line must be _empty_; the message should contain the 3 lines help help set subscribe gw-adaed firstname lastname (substitute your own names!) The first 2 lines will get you help messages indicating how to use the various options listproc provides; the third line subscribes you to the list. This is all automated; our hands do not touch your message. Once you get an e-mail acknowledgement of your subscription, you can write to the list by sending e-mail to gw-adaed@seas.gwu.edu. In messages to the list, do _not_ leave the subject line empty. We hope you will spread around the news of the availability of this list. You do _not_ need Usenet news accesss or ftp to join the list; you need only to be able to send and receive Internet e-mail. We hope you enjoy the list, and using GW-Ada/Ed!
