Hi all

Third attempt at learning Ada.

If I try to declare a variable using non-Latin, the compiler objects.

=CF=86 : Long_Float :=3D 1.6180339887;

Why is that?

I'm using UTF-8 in GPS.

Apparently you need to pass -gnatW8 to the compiler, but I can't figure out=
 where in GPS to do that ... the "switches" page shows me stuff for Pretty =
Printer.

Thanks, Ian
