- In response to my claim that the GNAT Project at NYU, which is
- implementing an Ada compiler to be part of the FSF distribution, will
- include a port to the Macintosh, emagnuso@halcyon.com (Erik Magnuson)
- asks:
- >> Is this really likely given the FSF antipathy to Apple? Do the GNAT
- >> implementors feel bound by RMS request to boycott Apple and not
- >> support GNU software on Apple?

- It may be unlikely, but it's happening. RMS is working closely with the
- NYU folks on GNAT, and NYU is doing nothing without his agreement. How
- Dewar obtained RMS's agreement to the Mac port I don't know; what I do
- know is that Dewar reports having obtained it.
