I don't know about Win95, but in general you start syntax highlighting
in Emacs 19.31 by calling a function in your `.emacs' (no idea what it
is called on win95; perhaps `_emacs' ?)

BTW, don't use the ada-mode.el from the 2.12 release in newer Emacsen as
Emacs (>= 19.29) and XEmacs (>= 19.13) already provide a better Ada
mode.

By the time you can see this message, there probably is release 2.23
available on cs.nyu.ed:/pub/gnat.  Thanks for your question. This gives
me the opportunity to make my announcement.
