This is probably due to my inadvertently leaving in a "with Ada.Text_IO"
in one of the packages (originally there for debugging purposes). There's
a new version of JEWL at http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/jewl/ which
corrects this (and a couple of minor documentation errors); it has also
been fixed so that it will compile with Gnat 3.10, since a handful of
people who were still using this version contacted me about this (although
by now they've probably all taken my advice and upgraded... ;-)

As various people have pointed out, the above advice is incorrect;
the "-mwindows" switch to gnatlink is what makes the console window
vanish (so compile with "gnatmake foo.adb -largs -mwindows").

Hi everybody,
Is there someone who knows how to hide or disable the terminal window
you get by running the program you just have made with Gnat under
Windows 98 ?
The terminal window is very useful when you create programs to see the
exception which are raised and to do a first debugging, but when you us
a GUI, like JEWL (http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/), it is frustrating
to see this window, now completely unuseful.
I am sure that there is a way to supress this window (or to hide it),
but I couldn't find it in the doc which comes with Gnat 3.12p (perhaps,
I missed it)...

Maybe this should be in the FAQ...
From a message from Martin Carlisle that I carefully saved some times ago:
You need to specify the -mwindows linker option. You can do this either
on the command line, or (if using AdaGIDE) via Tools/GNAT Options in
Current Directory, or (my preferred method) add the following to your
main program:
pragma Linker_Options("-mwindows");

Add the line
pragma Linker_Options ("-mwindows");
or -mwindows on the gnatmake command line.
