<<Robert,

Are we going to see a 3.10 release which can bootstrap itself on HPUX
(3.09 can't) anytime soon?>>


If you see a public release of GNAT from us, then you know it has been
bootstrapped, i.e. we succeeded in bootstrapping the HPUX 3.09 version.
It's not too surprising that Ronald might not be able to do so without
help from us, there can be tricky points involved in any of these GNAT
bootstraps, which is why most people work with the binary releases.

As for 3.10, we never give any prognosis on schedules for public releases.
A number of our customers are working with prereleases of 3.10 very
successfully, and all we will say is that, as for all GNAT releases, it
will be releases publicly some time in the future.

Of course we cannot guarantee that when it is realeased, Ronald Cole
will be able to bootstrap it on HPUX!

(but we will have bootstrapped it!)
