Ditto for me, except (you didn't note this, but I expect it works for
y'all, too) testexten.adb links and runs fine.  I tried putting
various libraries from Cygnus in the link path (e.g., libc.a), but so
far no joy.  I'm off to do some heavy reading of the documentation.

Since y'all probably noticed that Gnat 3.01 comes with simple.adb, the
Ada version of the WinAPI "hello, world", in its demos folder, and
since I can compile and link and run the C WinAPI "hello, world"
program with Cygnus GnuWin32, I expect I'm really, really close to the
solution, and I *don't* have to spend the money on the Microsoft SDK.

Anybody else out there working with Cygnus GnuWin32 who got Win32Ada
working?

Anyhow, off to the documentation I go.
