Date: 1997/04/25 Message-ID: #1/1 X-Deja-AN: 237418534 References: <5jl4do$eji@sun04.tfh-berlin.de> Organization: New York University Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1997-04-25T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Bob Duff said <> What Sam was trying to say was that we often find people using extremely old versions of GNAT (someone recently submitted a bug with a version that was over two years old), and it is important that such people should know that there have been some improvements since. It is also the case that some people, not that many, but some, simply don't follow the] installation instructions, and what appears to them to be bugs are in fact just the result of incorrect installation. I would certainly hope that the Aonix compiler should be super easy to install and use (I don't know myself because I don't run windows!) since that was the whole point of the large investment the government made in the educational compiler. That is not particularly a design point of GNAT -- certainly we cannot invest millions of dollars in the effort, nevertheless we try to improve installation ease as we go along. One thing to say again here is that chat@gnat.com is a good place to get informal installation assistance. Subscribe by sending mail to chat-request@gnat.com.
