There are languages supported with gcc (C++, most notably) that aren't supported in GNAT, so one might want to have both compilers available. (That and my gcc compiler is targeted to a Mips machine & I want GNAT for the PC/NT platform) Maybe someone is listening? :-) I've found the Cygnus installation stuff here, so I can get back to where I was if something hoses up. I believe I will attempt the install and see what I break. If anything unusual happens, I'll report back here. *(Will this ever happen? Ada being part of the regular gcc distribution, that is. It would seem like it would be putting Ada in front of lots more people - don't know what that may do so the ACT business model, though...)
