I have been trying to locate similar toolsets for use with the Janus compiler package. My work involves designing a Heads-Up-Display for a Pegasus missile simulator, and I must say that the search for good graphical user interfacing packages has been weak. I am a true believer in Ada, and I see the need to develop complex graphics packages. There is virtually no reason why they are few and far between, as every other major programming language has one that is easily accessible. My only advice is to check with R.R. Software and get their bulletin board number out of Wisconsin. There is a GRAPHICS directory including all graphics packages that the folks there have kindly compiled for public download. One in particular, ADAGRAPH.ZIP, is very will written, although it does not include the capability to write both text and graphics on a graphics screen (which is truly limiting.) I think you'll find the board to be of some use. I would appreciate any info you find, and if you'd be so kind as to keep me updated I'll join the search with you. - Mike Clark clarkm@slab.pr.erau.edu
