: Since you mention GNAT 3.04a, with long file names, I'm guessing (notice I

: work for a while now and i's pretty good, IMHO.  Especially with Ada mode
: 2.23.  This ties in real nice iwth GNAT, and from what you say, I believe
: it doees not have these limitations.


And to think I had given up on Emacs for Win!  I know about Emacs
and it is one helluva utility (I used to stand in the halls of
my university and stop passerbys to expound the virtues of Emacs
upon their ears -- much like the stereotypicalimage of a
preacher).  I had searched, but all I could find was microemacs.
BTW, an editor which can play games has no limits!  :)


: EMACS for Win/NT is at:

:    http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html#support
: or:
:    ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs

: Ada mode 2.23 is at the NYU site:

:    ftp to cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnt
:         emacs-ada-mode-2.23.tar.gz

: Hope this helps out.

This helps *A LOT*!  Thanks a million.
