Quite so. I try my best not to, but its damn tough to fight the
pattern-matching wetware we a saddled with sometimes. :-)

Ahh. That explains its absence from the list of supported platforms on
your website.

Silly me. I assumed all the platforms listed on your "Supported
Platforms" page on your website ( http://www.gnat.com/platforms.HTM ),
were actually supported platorms. How could I have been so foolish?

In all seriousness, I suppose the presence there of Gnat for Java should
have tipped me off.

Anyway thanks for providing the facts.
