However, after the freezing of the gcc 3.2 sources, a big update was done to gcc GNAT, and it is now a LOT better. If you want to try for yourself, goto http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw and download gnatgcc-3.3-exp-20021006-notes.txt.gz gnatgcc-3.3-exp-20021006.tar.gz (and gnatgcc-3.3-exp-20021006.tar.gz if you need the sources) and follow the instructions in the notes file. REALLY as it is not installed under the current mingw distribution. Note: the is currently no such thing as an gcc 3.3, and this is strictly an experimental build. Although it is, IMO, much better then the 3.2 GNAT version on Mingw, an ACVC run still shows some problems. -- -- Jerry van Dijk | email: jvandyk@attglobal.net -- Leiden, Holland | web: users.ncrvnet.nl/gmvdijk
