Actually, I have an upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, and I did buy
it in a store. I have no idea what percentage of people get new machines
vs upgrading old ones. But new operating system versions do not come with
processor boards.
That means you are using the old obsolete version of Win95 (the one
that for example does not support FAT32). If you work at picking up
fixes and addons, you can deal with some, but not all, of the differences
between this old release and the current one.
Did you intend to send more? Not that more is needed, but your message
ended. Again, subject to misinterpretation (we need a more formal
language than English), I take it that you consider the Win95 version to
-not- be important.
We think that the Win95 version is definitely useful for and important
for educational use, and that is why we make it available. As you will
note from Martin Carlisle's post, the folks at the Air Force Academy
agree, and have chosen GNAT+GDB as their Ada 95 platform of choice,
using the nice IDE (AdaGIDE) that Martin deveoped.
Many other schools and students are using the Win95 version of GNAT
successfully. You seem to assume that since it does not work for you,
it does not work for anyone. That would be as misleading as the
assumption that because something worked for you, it worked for
everyone else just as well!
