Responders believed that linking GNATS and the ClearCase task examples
(/usr/atria/examples/task) should not be too difficult, though no
responders seem to have tried this.
GNATS can be obtained from one of the GNU mirrors or from Cygnus
Support.
For example, GNATS may be found via anonymous FTP at
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnats/ or

gnatsweb, is distributed with gnats itself.
