I realize the smileys are here. But just to be clear. Ada Core Technologies
has dropped support for the DOS port of GNAT, and will no longer be providing
ports of the GNAT technology to the DOS system.

If some volunteer wishes to pick up the pieces and do a later port than
3.07, that's certainly welcome. There are a number of unsupported volunteer
ports for obsolete operating systems, where obsolete = still in use by a
band of enthusiasts (e.g. Amiga), and there is no reason why the DOS port
should not join these if someone is willing to put in the work.
