You mean your posts a couple months back ?
If so then this is good bye OS/2 support. Good luck with Win95.

I didn't want to start an OS war or anything, that's more for *.advocacy
groups (;-). After all you need to make some money for a living.

As I am not familiar with the Win95/NT gcc, I am wondering why
the cygnus port make it easier for you since the "drive ( "C:\" )" stuff
is still in those OS's.

If you could tell us some of the differences, maybe then we could try to
straighten them out for future GNAT versions.
