GNAT 3.12 is not compatible with GCC 2.95, and a lot of work would be required to build a version of 3.12 with this version of GCC. Furthermore it would not work well, there are a significant number of GCC bugs that are fixed in the Ada Core patched version of GCC 2.8.1 that are not yet fixed in GCC 2.95. The plan is that everything will be merged for GCC 3.0, and at that point GNAT will be compatible with the new GCC 3.0. Richard Kenner has merged most of the GCC 2.8.1 stuff into the new GCC tree, so we are getting nearer to this point. When I read this, and a few postings that followed, it was my impression GNAT would be merged into GCC before summer of 2000. Guess what. Like I said, don't hold your breath. I wouldn't be suprised if it didn't show up until summer 2002. SteveD
