   As I stated before, I also wish to just use GNAT.  Of greater
significance, how will people new to Ada use GNAT without a simple way to
download it?
   Does anything in the Ada Core license prevent any of the Ada experts from
setting up a site to download the latest public version of GNAT?  My
suggestion is for one of the author's of an Ada textbook to have the latest
free version of GNAT located at the same site as his or her book.  We also
have the problem that A# depends on GNAT.

   I think the original poster is looking for a pre-built release (and
probably
   for Windows) - as am I! :-)
   
   I don't have the time to look into how to build a compiler - I just want
to use the thing...
   
   Cheers
