And finally, Win95 looks pretty nice to me! 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. Thanks, Ralph Paul paul@aem.umn.edu or ralph@ifr.luftahrt.uni-stuttgart.de
