There used to be a NetBSD port of GNAT some years ago, but I guess it was dropped due to lack of interest. I remember trying it on my NetBSD 1.3 box... Actually there seems to be port of GNAT 3.12p for NetBSD 1.4.1: http://www.gnuada.org/netbsd.html The current version of GNAT is 3.13p. > I was looking at http://www.gnat.com and http://www.adahome.com less > than 24 hours before Harri J Haataja's posting time, for DOS, Linux > and BSD versions. Also check ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/ for official "public" distributions of GNAT. A. -- Aaro Koskinen, aaro@iki.fi, http://www.iki.fi/aaro
