I assume you don't mean that you switched to Ada 95 because of the
environment in EZ2LOAD, which leave me with the interpretation that
it is a typo and that you are switching to Win95. Is that correct?
I'm hoping I'm too fast to jump to conclusions, but if that interpretation
was correct, what will then happen with the OS/2 version of gnat? Does it
mean that somebody else will have to make the OS/2 port if we want
something newer than 3.05 (thanks for that version by the way)?
