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! Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies
