I think that the original idea of porting gnat to the Mac was to have
a freely available Ada compiler runing natively on the Mac. While
using SoftPC or SoftWindows is a possibility, it wouldn't enable you
to make any macintosh software, or take advantage of the macintosh's
interface. And, after all, who wants to use DOS or Windows?
