Thanks for the reply. Basically an RTFM problem. I was getting messages 
about not finding mssyst.ads and so I used the file that comes with mgnat 
(http://asharp.martincarlisle.com/) to get around this. After reading the 
manual I generated a new mssyst.ads using cil2ada - this worked OK then. 

Basically I was trying to mix mgnat with the dotnet version of GPS / 
gnat. Now that I'm just using the dotnet version of GPS / Gnat it works 
OK. However I am finding that I have to run dotnet-gnatmake from the 
commmand line - GPS runs gnatmake.

Does anybody know how I can get GPS to call dotnet-gnatmake instead of 
the regular gnatmake?

Thanks for anybody that can help iron out this last problem. It does work 
from the command line though so it's not a major worry.

Cheers

Alex
