Since I'm getting into running Ada programs on a DEC/Compaq Alpha machine, I've downloaded the corresponding GNAT version for NYU. It works fine for the compiler itself. However, the gdb file (gdb-4_17_gnat_3_11p_alpha-dec-osf4_0d.gz) seems in a different archive format than the other *.gz files found on the NYU server. I've tried several utilities : tar, gzip and winzip choke on it. Who knows which format this is, and (better) which tool I should use ? Here is the list of alpha-related files found in the gnat+gdb directories : NOT OK : gdb-4_17_gnat_3_11p_alpha-dec-osf4_0d.gz OK : gdbtk-4_17-alpha-dec-osf4_0d_tar.gz OK : gnat-3_11p-alpha-dec-osf4_0d-bin_tar.gz Thanks for any clue, -- Hervé [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
