: Well, the New York Ada Ed compiler environment grew up and up and ...
: and it was put into the GNU repository.
: 
: This stems from /prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/DESCRIPTIONS
: (I retrieved it from there just 2 minutes ago):
: 
:    * GCC	 (For current status, see ``GNU Software''.)
: 
:      New front ends for GCC are being developed, but they are not yet part of
:      GCC.  ..., and a front end for Ada (GNAT: The GNU Ada Translator) is
:      available via anonymous FTP from `cs.nyu.edu' in `/pub/gnat', though it
:      is not yet stable. News about GNAT is posted to the USENET newsgroup
:      `comp.lang.ada'.  ...
: 
: So it`s `here' in this group, where you can get uptodate information.

Ada Ed and GNAT are two different systems both originating at NYU. What was
mentioned by the GNU DESCRIPTION that was quoted was GNAT not Ada Ed.
