Re: How to install GNatCom and GWindows - missing Tom.ads file??

[David Botton <david@botton.com>]

Did you install gnatwin in addition to gnat 3.15p?

windres should be included. If for some reason you don't have it, you 
can download a copy of windres from the gnatcom site 
http://www.gnavi.org/gnatcom
