<<Does anybody know where I can obtain a copy of the Steelman document? I'm
trying to to educate a skeptical C++ user about the versatility of the
language :) Also, I've written a program to be run under FreeBSD, but I
wasn't able to find a version of GNAT for any of the BSD's (I have reason
to believe that the PAL is down or running extremely sluggishly at the
time of this writing). Can I get a version for *BSD, or will I just have
to compile the source tree manually?>>
Remember that GNAT is written in Ada 95, so you need a working GNAT
compiler before you can compile it. The norrmal method of getting GNAT
onto a new machine is to build a cross-compiler from a machine on which
GNAT does exist. There have been volunteer ports to FreeBSD in the past,
but I do not know if there is a current one.
