Yes, the public version of GNAT is available at no charge, from multiple
download sites, including cs.nyu.edu. If you are having trouble with one
you should try another. We have no significant reports of trouble accessing
cs.nyu.edu, but of course you may have a particularly troublesome route.
The current public version of GNAT is 3.10p. This is available for most
targets, including both those created by ACT, and some volunteer ports,
including NetBSD, FreeBSD, and recently DOS.
We are hoping to release 3.11p in the very near future, we are doing some
final testing on the NT version, and we will also issue versions of ASIS and
GLADE that are compatible with this version at the same time.
Ada Core Technologies provides a fully supported commercial version, GNAT
Professional, that is available directly from us, including fully validated
versions (GNAT is still the only 100% validated Ada 95 technology, including
the core and all optional annexes). The GNAT Professional technology is
typically one version more advanced than the public version, since we do
not make versions public until they have already been extensively used.
GNAT Professional also comes with full support.
But if you can use the slightly older version, and are happy to use
unsupported software (which is typically perfectly reasonable for student use
or academic research use), then the public version is definitely still
available for your use. Note however that Ada Core Technologies does not
provide any kind of support for the public version, and cannot make any
warranties or statements of any kind concerning the public version. In
particular, we have no way of knowing that the version you obtained is the
same as what we originally put out there, and in the case of the volunteer
ports, it is of course the case that we have no knowledge of these products.
