Excellent choice, both language and OS :-)

Looks like the GNAT docs haven't been packaged, yet. I'll file a problem
report for it.

The file you're looking for is here:

    ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/3.13p/gnat-3.13p-docs.tar.gz

Just unpack it anywhere you like.

Btw. "gnatmake someprogram.adb" compiles the program to an executable
called "someprogram". "gnatmake -c" only creates an object file.
