Brett asked:

"Does anyone know if gnat is, or will be available to run under
MkLinux on a PowerMacintosh?  Any help or pointers to info
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks."

No one at ACT is looking at this port, and we don't know of anyone
looking at it, but it is probably not too difficult to get this
up -- certainly the non-tasking version should be fairly easy. So
if anyone volunteers to work on this, let us all know!

We looked at MkLinux early on when we were considering the Mac port,
but found it uninteresting because it does not coexist with System 7,
unlike MachTen from Tenon, which is the environment we are using for
the ACT GNAT port. On the other hand, I expect there are some people
who would prefer to run MkLinux, so it would certainly be nice to have
the port available!
