And ee9 certainly won't compile under 3.15p, as it uses several Ada 2005 features in ways that could not easily be avoided. > I'd be glad to help with SPARC builds but I don't have anything newer than > 3.15p and until I can learn to build gcc-Ada myself I'm a bit stuck since I > prefer not to use other peoples packages although if AdaCore would host a > package and stand behind it I would give it a shot. It's disappointing that no Solaris GNAT GPL is provided; ee9 is /very/ loosely based on ideas from an emulator I wrote in Ada 95 on a Sun in 1996. -- Bill Findlay with blueyonder.co.uk; use surname & forename;
