Thanks for the link. That's what I am using now. Why don't you include that
in your own distribution? That would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Is anybody planning to update the Windows version to 1.4.1? From what I saw
there may be a problem with some constants which don't seem to exist in
the Windows header files.

With a good IDE there is no need for that. I only do Java development on Windows
and haven't been missing these tools so far. In this case I just wanted to
compile an existing piece of Ada software as a test driver for some Java software
and this would have been easier with a ready to compile socket binding (and if
GNAT 3.15p would not have crashed two times on this software which compiles
fine on several other systems with GNAT 3.14p).
