Actually, I did not create the help file, but one of my employees did,
which ultimately I take responsibilty for.  I thought she had just
"included" the then-current gnatinfo.txt, but it seems in this case
she altered it beyond added the hyperlinks.  The text seems so close, 
and yet so far.... :)   I do know that at one time the gnatchop batch
file did not work on NT, but I'm at a loss as to how it got scrambled.

We do include the gnatinfo.txt too.  I plan to take a sweep over the
help files, but I was waiting for the release of the gnat users guide.
Maybe I should get the release from SGI.  In any case, this error
has been corrected in the help sources.
