Re: ADA.CALENDAR.TIME_OF problem with cygwin gcc-ada

["Roger Blum" <roger_blum@swissonline.ch>]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your reply.

I 've used GNAT 3.15p before. I was urged to change to cygwin Ada because I
have to link my project with some c++ libraries, which isn't supported by
GNAT 3.15p (means I haven't found a way to do it).

I suppose I have to write my own calendar package to do the date
calculations.
