Let's face it, gnatinfo.txt has been volatile, with various changes over its lifetime, esp. when there have been significant new releases of GNAT. I suppose we could have a GNAT version number in the gnatinfo filename, but come on! If you get GNAT, you get gnatinfo.txt. And you get the correct gnatinfo.txt for the associated version of GNAT. Its a minor issue, and certainly it is not difficult to follow the given directions. (In fact, I think the installation directions haven't changed in quite awhile.) I vote for leaving things the way they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin J.
