Most everyone at Cygnus used the command line or emacs interfaces to gnats for years. You don't get pull-downs to click on, but all the features/facilities are there if you use the right command line options. BTW I should note that the gnatsweb facility for uploading a file into a PR is a gnatsweb-only mechanism. As far as I know, no other front ends are able to decode these attachments. It's one of the (numerous) weaknesses of gnats that it doesn't have a standardized facility for attaching files to a PR. (there's no technical reason why the other front ends couldn't decode the gnatsweb attachments; it's just that no one has done it yet AFAIK) Jason
