First why do you use NT and not linux when you are used to Sun OS?
Second instead of this slander could you perhaps explain what is your

Bullshit! I have Gnat on a windows machine. Installed it under C:\GNAT
and in the directory C:\GNAT\Documentation I find both the Gnat
User Guide and Gnat Reference Manual and Ada 95 Refrence Manual.

If you want to learn Ada 95 then go to http://www.adapower.com and click
the Learn Ada button and read one of the on-line books or buy a book.
