Instructions:
GNAT is complete Ada 95 compiler that is integrated into the GCC compiler system. GNAT is a full compiler that implements all of Ada95, including each of the specialized needs annexes. Because it is integrated with GCC, GNAT simplifies the construction of multi-language systems involving Ada, C, and C++. Note that GNAT is a full compiler and not a translator (it does not use C as an intermediate language).
JGNAT is a version of GNAT that generates Java Byte Code. Such code runs on the Java Virtual Machine.

GNAT was originally developed at New York University, under grants from the Ada9X project Office, the US Air Force and DARPA. The original NYU team included the following: Bernard Banner, Cyrille Comar, Robert Dewar, Sam Figueroa, Franco Gasperoni, Richard Kenner, Bruno LeClerc, Brett Porter, Gail Schenker, and Edmond Schonberg. Important pieces of the runtime system were contributed by Ted Baker and his team at Florida State University: Ted Giering, Frank Muller and Dong-Ik Oh. The distributed annex implementation is due in large part to the work of collaborators at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Telecommunications in Paris: Laurent Pautet, Sam Tardieu, and in Brest: Yvon Kermarrec and Laurent Guerby. Paul Hilfinger (UC Berkeley) enhanced gdb to handle Ada syntax and semantics. Richard Stallman provided valuable advice early on. Thanks are due to many other contributors and users who have provided feedback, bug reports, fixes, and suggestions. GNAT is now maintained by Ada Core Technologies (ACT) about which see http://www.gnat.com. GNAT was validated under version 2.0.1 of the ACVC test suite, on several SGI architectures.
Many thanks are also due to those people who have been porting GNAT to numerous platforms (see the port documentation for their names).
