The Ada95 Upgrade for VisualAge C++ (what a mouthful) permits an Ada95
user to build new visual parts based on the IBM Open Class parts and
use them in Ada95 programs. The product includes an Ada95 code generator
(which generates the code for the new composite parts constructed by the
user), and Ada95 bindings to the IBM Open Class library. The initial
version is available on Windows NT for use with GNAT.
