I had a look around the Grammatech website some time ago. The tool looks better than ideal, but unfortunately does not appear to be supported on Vax/VMS. I have taken a copy of Marin Condic's pretty printer source, and will try it and post results shortly. The problem with installing GNAT (or any other) executables is simply that the supplier is not on the list of known software sources maintained by the security guys (they don't get out much). It's a knee-jerk reaction to anything unknown. If GNAT could be built from source then it would be OK - the source could be checked and system calls investigated (not that they ever are). How would Gnat be built from source? I guess you would need to compile GNAT source written in Ada'83 through DEC-Ada to produce the Gnat '95 executables. -- Tony V
