I'm having trouble remembering! and my notes don't help. I started it on
Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in which 64-bit compilers eg GNAT GPL 2009
couldn't handle exceptions. I had a 32-bit build of GNAT GPL 2009 (built
under Leopard, because the Tk framework only existed in 32-bit version)
and that was fine; I expect that was the one.

Now, there would be no trouble using GNAT GPL 2010.
