This is the README file for the binary distribution of GNAT.
This directory contains the files needed for installing and running GNAT.

INSTALLING

The quick way to install GNAT is to first run the script 'doinstall'
contained in this directory. This script asks a few questions about how
you want GNAT to be installed. It prompts you for confirmation before
proceeding with the actual installation. At any time before this
confirmation, you can interrupt it by pressing Ctrl-C.

The information you will be requested to provide is very simple. GNAT 
needs only an installation directory, and for some cross targets,
the installation directory of the target operating system. The installation
script writes some temporary files and a complete report of its actions
(install.log) in the current directory by default; this can be overridden
by setting the TMPDIR environment variable to an appropriate writable
directory.

USE

Using GNAT is documented in the GNAT User's Guide available in this
package as well as the GNAT documentation package distributed
separately.

EXAMPLES

The directory <installation root>/share/examples contains simple examples.
