Actually, I was pleasantly surprised (even though I've still had no luck building JGNAT). The AJIS archive that can be downloaded from libre.adacore.com actually contains the entire JGNAT sources that can be downloaded if you select jvm-windows as your download target, plus all of the AJIS code to boot. I did a diff just to be sure, and they are exactly the same. *surprise!* --deadlyhead
