No, that is incorrect. The statement on the web site is a formal compliance statement that refers ONLY to the supported GNAT Professional version. Ada Core Technologies cannot make any formal guarantees of any kind, and in particular, cannot make any formal Y2K compliance statements, for any public version of the compiler, or any version not obtained directly from us as part of a support contract. That being said, it is worth remembering that the public versions of GNAT are essentially the same code base as GNAT Professional, and so, if what you have is indeed the public version that we originally supplied (we have no way of assuring this), then it is likely that it does not have Y2K related bugs (we certainly do not introduce any such bugs into the public version). The important thing to realize is that asking if a product is Y2K compliant is quite different from asking if there are troublesome Y2K related bugs. Compliance is about formal guarantees, and such guarantees cannot be provided for the public versions of GNAT, at least not by ACT.
