Yeah thanks. Hmmm, I want to keep the lib Ada95 currently as I really
want the library to be usable with any Ada95 compiler. But if needs
must, then I'll have to shift it to Ada 200Y and screw compatability
for a while.

I'd also like to ask about style from you potential users of wxAda ;-D

I currently have a library where you have instances and these are not
allocated with new (like GtkAda). So, I've found that the use of
aliased is required in a fair few places. I'm wondering whether it
would be better to follow the GtkAda style and allocate the objects
using allocators. What do you lot think?

Also, I use the following:

New_Window(My_Window, ...);
New_Frame(My_Frame, ...);
New_Button(My_Button, ...);
etc.

Would you potential users prefer overloading? a la:

Create(My_Window, ...);
Create(My_Frame, ...);
Create(My_Button, ...);
etc.

Thanks,
Luke.
