I found it very useful and functional. What a joke? Tell us all, we will laugh with you if it is good enough. >There is even not a Readme included.

If there are no links in your menu start there is Win32ada.hlp file in [GNAT-DIR]\Bindings\Win32ada\Help\win32ada.hlp Or you mean something else? There is also Ada Reference Manual, user's guide, GNAT reference manual and some more in [GNAT-DIR]\Documantation directory in various formats. Hope this will be helpful. Want some more? >Is there a development environment included (I do not like Emacs). No it is not included, but you may download some IDE for GNAT: AdaGIDE: http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfcs/bios/mcc_html/adagide.html GNATIDE: ftp://ftp.brighton.ac.uk/pub/je/ (look for gnidexx.zip) ConTEXT: http://www.fixedsys.com/context/ (you may customize it to work as IDE), there is also syntax highlighter for Ada, thanks to Chris Danx), GRASP: http://www.eng.auburn.edu/department/cse/research/grasp/grasp_main.shtml and some others somewhere, try to seek. Try to start to like GNAT, it is really nice, useful, fuctional, etc.... It will not make yourself a whole program, but it is programmer's task, isn't it? -Mike ----------------------------------------- ____| \%/ |~~\ O | o>> Mike Nowak | T | / > vinnie@inetia.pl | http://www.geocities.com/vinnie14pl _|__
