Are you sure you didn't get an error message from setpath.bat?  On my
machine I had to edit the PATH line to put double quotes around the
whole string -- if you've got a long filename with embedded spaces,
as for example "Program Files", you've got to have the quotes.

I'm responding here to an anonymous poster (and, btw, Mr. Nobody, the
likelihood of getting help from folks on Usenet when you don't use your
name varies between slim and none) because I think that not everyone who
uses gnat has my advanced state of Win95/DOS knowledge (which I
characterize as being one small but extremely important step above
butt ignorant).  Putting the double quotes in the PATH line is harmless
if there are no embedded spaces and avoids an error when there are.
