For reasons I do not understand nor care to explore too deeply (since everything is fine!) the customary Gnat commands were not recognized. So I created a batch file with the line: SET PATH=C:\GNAT\BIN;C:\GNAT\LIB;C:\GNAT\Bindings\Win32Ada;%PATH% (Don't know if it is going to use the PATH variable to search for bindings. Oh well, it doesn't cost much!) Anyway, from here I was able to compile and link your garden variety "Hello World" program and everything was fine. I don't know off the top of my head if I need to be executing any other batch files or similar things to accomplish full visibility of everything Gnat may ever want - I suppose I should RTFM - but I could apparently find no additional "setup" sorts of things to do. Maybe someone else knows the answer to that one? As for Cygnus, apparently all of their search path stuff is being set up by similar batch files I'm executing when I start up a command line to use BASH. So depending on where I start my MS-DOS window & which .bat's I execute, everything seems to be fine. Now I've not tested very thoroughly, so I expect there could be trouble down the road in searching for libraries of things, etc. But at least both compilers will execute and compile code without interfering with each other. Hope this helps others.....
