i have seen this command but have got something wrong, it wont work. i
did check users guide. in fact what i am trying to compile is source
code from the users guide!
i have three files...........
/home/Phil/gmain.abs
/home/Phil/testsub/greetings.adb
/home/Phil/testsub/greetings.abs

from the /home/Phil directory i type "gnatmake gmain -ldir testsub"
and get "greetings.abs not found" compilation fails.

i need to know the EXACT text to type......i am refreshing my skills
but i do know what users guides are.......i must be doing something
silly but what?

ANd once i figure this out i need a way to automatically examine all
subdirectories as required.....cross that bridge when i come to
it.....
