ACT no longer supports the OS/2 version of GNAT, since there was insufficient commercial demand (we had one customer, who is in the process of switching to windows). > If it is not tested, what does that mean for the quality of any > private builds? Probably they should be in fairly reasonable shape, since I still build on OS/2 for development purposes, though we don't do any formal testing of the OS/2 version at this stage. > As an aside, it seems that my other preferred OS, OpenVMS, is > suffering the same fate. The OpenVMS version of GNAT Professional is fully supported, and we have a number of supported customers for this platform. We are not planning on releasing public binaries, since this is no longer a platform that is of interest for student use. > All that I could find on ftp://cs.nyu.edu was 3.11p and 3.12p. > BTW, do they just mirror ACT or do they produce their own binaries? cs.nyu.edu has binaries of the public versions, some are built by ACT, others are built by other volunteers.
