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.
