Dear All,

I'm fairly new to Ada, and hope that this is the right newsgroup in which
to post a question specific to the GNU/ACT GNAT compiler ...

Can anybody tell me if/how it is possible to make the GNAT Ada compiler
issue references to the Ada Reference Manual rather than, or in addition to,
the regular error messages issued by the compiler ?

I know that other Ada compilers such as Vertix and VADS can do this, and
am surprised that the GNAT compiler does not do this by default. If it was
a design decision, I'd be interested to hear the rationale behind it.

Regards,



David Peterson
