Robert can be a bull in a china shop. If Robert would say, "We don't have the manpower to maintain old releases, please download and try the lastest release" or ask the bloke who releases the CDROMs to include a pointer to the latest releases on the internet and let that be that, then a lot of people wouldn't have ruffled feathers." It is not a matter of person power, it is just that we do not choose to provide free maintenance services for old versions. It seems reasonable for people using GNAT to make a little bit of an effort to get the latest version when it is so easy and inexpensive to do so, rather than asking questions about obsolete versions. As for the CDROM, I have sent mucho messages to the "bloke who releases the CDROMs", and never got an answer! As I say, I think you do much better to get the Walnut Creek CD ROM which is much more up to date -- I have no commercial interest in either of these CD ROM's, I *do* have an interest in people not getting stuck with obsolete junk when for the same price they can get something much better!
