Ok, you are almost there. However I think you are confused by the different
environment variables used.

The most important one is the PATH variable, on NT, if you look at the PATH
environment variable for the administrator, it should have 'c:\gnat\bin' as
the first enty. If it isn't (but probably is in the user environment variable
PATH) you have to de-install GNAT and install it again from an account that
has administrator rights.

The Ada_Include_Path is used to tell the compiler where to find specific
ada spec files, as Ada_Objects_Path is used to tell the compiler where the
related object files live. You do not need to set either of them for GNAT
itself. On NT these paths are set in the registry, and the 'gnatls -v'
command shows you where they point. I see in you message that they are
Ok.

So, check the PATH environment variables on your machine, and try to use
GNAT again when they are set-up properly. If you still have problems, post
again.

success,
Jerry.
