Re: Distributed Ada (Annex E)

["David C. Hoos, Sr." <david.c.hoos.sr@ada95.com>]

On my system the registry key is
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Ada Core Technologies/GCC
not
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Ada CoreTechnologies/GCC
Do you agree?

FWIW on my system (XP Professional) GNU sed version 3.02
works just fine, but clearly the 013 is wrong, unless you're
trying to delete Vertical Tabs (not very likely).

Also, FWIW I use the tcsh shell, as I like it much better
than bash, and I have the following path set which gives
preference to GNAT:

. G:/gnat/bin G:/cygwin/bin

3-14p? I have Cygwin installed which may have something to do with the following error I get while
trying to make the example programs:
