You will get all this stuff if you install the DJGPP *C* compiler.
GNAT requires GCC.  You might be able to get GNAT to work with EMX
as well.  Anyway, you need to find some BBS that has DJGPP, or 
check the doco to see if it can work with EMX, and then find a BBS
that has EMX.

Their doco says xyz, but in reality, when I try it out, it does abc.
That's what I meant.  Anyway, you'll need to find someone in your
area that can put you closer to DJGPP.

You should be able to get DJGPP from the internet too.  Most
likely from the same site that GNAT says that you can get GNAT
from!  BFN.  Paul.
