And the sample code didn't quite gel for me. I've used it seriously -- at eg http://coldframe.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coldframe/coldframe/Event_Test.test/ The above doesn't have a Software Test Description, so you have to use your imagination; Harness is the main program, Suite calls up the test cases, Test_* are the test cases. But this isn't by any means the only organisation possible.

Though gnatmake -Pcalc is correct and works, I > don't understand what the additional "./harness " is for. To run the test! harness is the executable (harness.exe on Windows). On Unix systems it's normal not to include the current directory in the path; so to run the program you have to say where it is, ".", and the directory separator is a plain slash, not that nasty backslash. On Windows you probably just need to say "harness -v".
