There are other problems, too. Even when I force Ada95 compilation I get 
errors. I've discussed this on the GNAVI mailing list, and it appears to 
be in hand but there's no timescale for resolution. Although somebody 
has pointed me to precompiled binaries, they also reported that they'd 
not had much success getting them to work. So for the moment it seems 
that GNATCOM is not a viable option for anybody who doesn't already have it.

I too could do with access to COM from Ada -- is there any viable (free) 
alternative to GNATCOM?
