Garrett The situation's a bit more complicated than that. :-) OARcorp _do_ support Ada as a development environment for RTEMS. However, some of the BSP's (for example, the i386 BSP) have moved from COFF to ELF. The current GCC used for GNAT, 2.8.x, generates COFF format binaries. It has been commented on several times in the RTEMS mailing list that OARcorp are eagerly awaiting for ACT to deliver a GNAT for GCC 3.x. :-) Simon. PS: I am not associated with OARcorp in any way apart from wanting to use Ada with RTEMS... -- Simon Clubley, simon_clubley@remove_me.excite.com-Earth.UFP In the task of removing Microsoft from the marketplace, I have discovered a truly remarkable plan, but this signature is too small to contain it.
