It sure is hard to get the message across. Indeed messages such as the above may make it easier to gain perspective on my previous posts here. The answer to the above question is no, since we do not distribute either the source or the binary of the public version. We simply send one copy to the nyu site. Any further distribution is nothing to do with us. We definitely cannot make any guarantee if you have a source and a binary of GNAT that they match in the above sense. Indeed we have OFTEN seen people distributing GNAT in a manner that is inconsistent with the GPL, in that they do not bother about their obligation to either distribute the source, or tell people where to get it. I don't think it matters too much in practice, but it is certainly nothing to do with us! Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
