I don't know about GNAT, but the 16-bit Janus/Ada does not do segment
math, so it should work in a protected mode environment. You'd have to
write (or get) the code to put the processor into that mode in the first
place (we don't have it, and setting up the memory stuff is not that
simple), but once there, the code would work fine.

The 16-bit Janus/Ada 83 is still available; look at www.rrsoftware.com
or contact me directly.
