Why would the DOS version of gnat not work on the Amiga?

I agree. But I also agree that a working DOS version of gnat would
be helpful to the Ada community, and this is the place for us
gnat-lovers to sit in a circle of gnat-love and visualize the

and then entone the mantra OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM.
