First, I recommend you always state what _version_ you are running.  
Sometimes files drift around for a long time on the net (or CD) and
it really helps to get this information.  My guess is that you
have 301a (since you mentioned updates).  There is a newer release,
and I suggest you get that from

    ftp://ftp.cs.yale.edu/pub/gnat/setup_gnat304a1.gz

(Get gzip.exe from there too if you don't already have it to decompress
files with the .gz extension.)

The environment space problem is really a Win95 issue.  I've attached
a note on how to expand your default environment space.

To increase the environment space allocated to a command window in Win95:


You can change either the properties of the "command.com" program
or any shortcut to that program.  The following tells you how to do it
to the command.com program:

Right click on start button.  Click on "explore".

Using the explorer, navigate to the windows directory (normally c:\windows)
and right-click on "command.com" in the right pane.  Click "properties".

Select the "Memory" tab and in the drop down box under "Initial Environment"
choose a size of at least 1024 bytes.
