One of the things that is putting me off evaluating it is the several other packages that I have to download and install. For example, do you really need Gnat 3.15p to build your emulator/Gnatcom/GWindows, or can you use Gnat 3.14p ? I seem to recall seeing reports of several problems with 3.15p. Simon. PS: Ross, you may like to be aware that VMS has a habit of breaking terminal emulators; my fastest time for breaking an emulator when running it against VMS is about 30 seconds... :-) PPS: Larry's suggestion of using Notes is a good one; if an emulator is going to break, I usually break it when trying to run it against TPU in EDT keypad mode. If it survives that :-), I will give Notes a try. -- Simon Clubley, clubley@remove_me.eisner.decus.org-Earth.UFP VMS advocate: One who makes a Mac advocate look like a beginner at advocacy.
