We are also working on getting the GNU "ld" to work on WinNT
and Win95.  (BTW, GNAT-2.03/NT does run on the Win95 beta!, 
Also, Gnat-2.04 has been built and is being tested in-house.  
It should be available at ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat and perhaps 
NYU next week.)

We are working on this as well.  Can't say exactly when this
will all be worked out, but hopefully by mid-summer. 
Certainly before Win95 is released.  :-)
