Mike, it's very good to hear that DOS GNAT may get tasking.  Is there any
timetable for this?  By the way, may I just say what a great job you're
doing in publicising GNAT:  you must be one of the people who's done
the most in getting the word about Ada and GNAT out into the computing
community.

Best wishes,
