I am looking for information on bindings between Ada and the following
products.
X, Motif, and Open-Look
Preferable for DEC equipment, but information for other platforms is
also welcome.

VAX Ada comes with bindings to Xlib.

Hi Steve, This is true however many people have complained
about the DEC Ada X bindings because they are (were?) system dependent
and did not use good abstractions in the interface.
While working for SPS in Indialantic, FL, I did a partial port of the
SAIC X/Ada bindings to VAX Ada. With this binding, we were able to
port a large (120K wc LOC) inteactive information processing system
from a Sun 3/60 with the MIT Xlib and Verdix to a VAXStation II with
DECWindows and VAX Ada with zero changes. I was impressed.
Mark Nelson at SAIC received these updates but I don't think they made
it into the distribution. You may want to follow up with SPS
(info@sps.com) or with Mark (uunet!seismo!esosun!mark).

Rational wrote a version of Xlib that is done 99% in Ada (the remaining
1% is just a few hundred statements in assembly). Rational has donated
this to MIT as a freely-distributable (but not public domain) artifact.
It can be obtained via ftp from MIT if you have Internet access [you
should check what the rules mean for "freely-distributable"]. It's a nice
clean implementation, and could be ported to a variety of platforms at
very minimal cost (you can even use machine code insertions to write
the few hundred non-Ada lines if your Ada compilers supports this).

You can get an Ada binding to XView, the OPENLOOK toolkit, for the Sun-4,
from Verdix. I don't know if it runs on DEC, but check with them to be
sure. As far as I know they are the only ones with an Ada binding to the
XView toolkit (If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!)
