"For instance include the Win32Ada bindings, the ADEPT Annex-E =
imlementation and so-on to produce a complete ready to go environment. ="

This unfortunately is not possible. Intermetrics decided that Microsoft
had a copyrighted interest in these bindings (I disagree, but that's a
whole different story), and consequently, microsoft was allowed to
dictate the distribution restrictions for these bindings, which included
NOT making them generally available on the net. They are available on
the Labtek CD ROMs or from the AJPO host, but for example we cannot
put them on cs.nyu.edu.

As to the NT version being behind, two reactions. One, reread my original
note (and read between the lines :-) Or wait for a soon-to-be released
announcement on NT GNAT support.

Also, understand that the order in which implementations come out for
a new version is pretty much a function of the commercial interest in
the relevant GNAT ports, we naturally do first the ones that are most
impoirtant to our customers. If and when interest in NT grows, the
priority of the NT release will grow accordingly!
