Hmm... I found this statement by Robert Dewar:

"... so people know, the status of JGNAT is that we have kept
the sources updated to the minimal extent that they compile, but we
no longer support this product and it was never fully completed. This
means that the sources in their current state are probably quite far
from being usable." (Robert Dewar, on gcc@gcc.gnu.org, 07 Jul 2004)

So it seems JGNAT is a no go. (Or is it?)

There is also reference to a similar tool from Intermetrics. Anyone 
knows? (And does it have 'Unrestricted_Access? :-) Thanks a lot.
