Thanks Simon - for the first time since Snow Leopard, I have a working
Ada compiler!! :-)

I'm using the "Lightweight IDE" - sorry Emacs was just as much a 'way-
of-life' tool as I remember...and I didn't enjoy the experience the
first time round.

Hopefully, AdaCore will be releasing a GNAT GPL 2010 for Snow Leopard
in a few months and I can get back to GPS.

Cheers
