Both Symantech and Metrowerks allow "Plug-in" to interact with their IDE.
So both could hosts GNAT.  But Metrowerks also comes with MPW.  And now
GCC 2.7.2 is about to be available on MPW.  Sooo...

If you want to port GNAT to Metrowerks' IDE, you have to first make GCC available
there.  By buying their environment, you already own MPW which more or less
has GCC now (recent news from gnu-mac@cygnus.com).  

I don't know how it goes with the Symantech environment, but I vaguely recall
that they produce a MPW version of their compilers.  They may ship MPW with
their IDE.

I am decided to have GNAT on my Mac.  Alas, I don't have now the MachTen 
environment.  This is unfortunate because I am a Metrowerks customer as well
(and consequently own both Metrowerks'IDE and MPW...).

Could the Mac-GNAT team let us know when the stripped down MachTen will arrive?
(info@tenon.com may do the trick)
