It's certainly nice to see the DOS version of GNAT finally appear, but I must say I am suprized that you have a "lot of students with DOS/Win3.11 systems". These days when you can buy a perfectly fine Win/95 preconfigured system for a few hundred dollars, we very rarely run into this, if at all. I did a poll on my current undergraduate class, and of about 30 people, one was a Mac person, 5 were running Linux, and the rest either Windows 95 or Win NT. None were running DOS or 3.1, and in fact, another entertaining milestone, almost none had ever run these systems EVER :-) My guess is that we will see more and more students running Linux on their PC's, and I think it is probably a useful thing to encourage that. Quite a few of my students are real Linux experts at this stage. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
