I think this was supposed to be conducted off the newsgroup, but for
those who are interested, Gnat (at least LabTek Gnat) doesn't use any
DOS shell commands that I can detect.  Or at any rate, it doesn't
require me to run out of a DOS shell.

I routinely run Gnat under bash (available from the Cygnus gnu-win32 folks
and elsewhere), and I have a special DOS window on my Start menu (under
Programming, a folder I created) that executes the appropriate ".bat"
file.  That file contains nothing more than

        d:\usr\bin\bash -rcfile ./.bashrc
        exit

And then the environment variables are set up in the normal Unix fashion.
in the .bashrc file.

I don't even have c:\Windows\Command in my $PATH.  Gnat works just fine
in this environment.

Speaking for myself, not my company
