Florida State University still exists (apparently): http://www.cs.fsu.edu/ The far-above (old) link says this: "funded by: U.S. Army AJPO, awarded to Ted Baker, Florida State University" The announce refers to "PART (POSIX / Ada-Runtime Project)" and says, "Copyright (C) 1992-2000 ... FSU ... LGPL". AFAIK, long ago, there was a slimmed Ada/DJGPP install ("EZ...something") that was probably intended to use this. I never learned Ada, so I only looked at it once or twice. Okay, a quick search rings some bells. Michael Feldman, George Washington University (GWU), "ez2load", etc. http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/~reiter/3120/free.ada This is circa 1996 and says, "GNAT version 3.04 for MS-DOS is now included. This is a _full_ Ada 95 compiler and binder and now supports tasking. Version 3.04 depends on djgpp version 2 ...." IIRC, it was using GCC 2.8.1 and possibly mirrored on Simtel.net. But I don't remember tasking working (and AFAIK doesn't work at all in any semi-recent DJGPP Ada builds). Once again, this is not "true" tasking, so DOS is still DOS. (Novell DOS 7 had some threading/multitasking functionality in its EMM386 [sic], but no third-party devs ever cared. And that's too old/proprietary for us anyways.)
