Dave,

     Thanks for your posting in response to my questions.  Among other things,
 you wrote:

     Something to the effect of the above included with the ObjectAda CD would
 be useful.  Perhaps you can talk to whomever does the packing and see if they
 could include an extra  "Message from Dave Wood, the Product Manager."


     As far as the generic_elementary_functions package included in Annex A - 
 many Ada users have kindly pointed out my oversight there.  I should have
 included in my post that in addition to being new to windows programming I'm
 also new to Ada95 and wasn't aware of that feature being added to the new
 version of the language.   Thanks to all who provided guidance here.

     Concerning textbooks, I've order Naiditch's "Rendezvous With Ada95" since
 I liked his original Ada83 textbook so much, but if that doesn't do the job
 then I'll get some of the other textbooks recommended as well.   Certainly
 I'll follow your advice (and the advice of others) and get a Win32 programming
 text.  I went into this with the naive assumption that there would just be a
 few packages I could "with" and then go about programming as always but in a
 windows environment instead of DOS.  Oh well, I suppose I'm still not too old
 to learn a few new tricks.  Thanks again for the advice.

Sincerely,

John H. Fogarty
