A related question:

Why does GNAT 3.10p on Linux have for its library files the old
8+3 compressed file names instead of more natural long file names?

A lot can be learned by new GNAT users by reading the library source
code, however, I found that the compressed DOS-ish filenames like
g-hesora.adb are much less encouraging to have a look into the files
then the corresponding full names (GNAT-Heap_Sort_A.adb).

It would be nice if GNAT 3.11p on Linux would not adhere any more
to late 1970s QDOS filesystem restrictions.

Markus
