I suspect that gnat for DOS will work on Win2k, since I have used it on both Win9x and NT. However, I also suspect you will have the same problem with Grub, because I suspect the problem is that Grub wants to load things that will begin execution in real mode, rather than the protected mode in which both gnat for Win32 and gnat for DOS run. I don't know whether there are any Ada compilers around these days which will build real mode executables. On the other hand, my suspicions about the cause of the Grub problem could be completely wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chris.danx" Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada To: Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 6:02 AM Subject: GNATDOS on Win2000? > Hi, > > I appologise if this post is slightly OT (I've lost the address for > GNATLIST).
