DBG for gnat?

DBG for gnat?

[Neck-Foo]

I downloaded gnat for DOS, but can't find anything about dbg.
Where can I get it and how do I get it to work?  Gnatinfo.txt has very 
little information.  The only file I have that might be something related 
is "gdb", but it has no extension (ie .exe or .com).

That is because gdb in the current version of GNAT/DOS is run from the
DOS extender go32, like:

	go32 -d gdb <your coff file>

Note that gdb needs a /coff/ file, not an exe file. If the latter is all
you have, use exe2coff <your_exe> to retrieve it. Otherwise compile and link
like:

	gcc -c -g <your_program>.adb
	gnatbl -g <your_program>.ali

to get both an exe file and a coff file with debugging info.

Hope this helps,
Jerry

Is this possible under gnat301a for winNT/95?
