I've just read the handbook section regarding how to port a foreign package to FreeBSD, but as you already did a port of Gnat, namely Gnat 2.01, and because it's my first attempt to do such a thing I'm asking you for some advice and perhaps help in doing it. As a very short CV, I'm a computer science and maths student at Lancaster Uni, (north west of england), I know C/C++, Ada, Java, and Prolog, and during the last 4 months I've began to use intensively FreeBSD :-), and for the time being I'm reading a lot about BSD operating systems :-). Thank you for your help and patience, EMANUELE -- e-mail: costa@unix.lancs.ac.uk http://www.leganordsen.it/
