When they upgrade to 2.9x or 3.0, it will be much easier. My big complaint about GNAT is that it builds on one version of one compiler, whereas GCC builds on just about any Unix C compiler you can dig up, including things that don't even try to conform to the 10 year old standard. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org If you wish to strive for peace of soul then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
