Since it is GMGPL it will likely die when Windows and Ada dies, not either one of us. The proof is that I haven't been able to work on GWindows for a great deal longer than I care to admit (nor want to admit to myself) yet it is still being used for new projects and will be for many very serious projects to come since its only real weakness is in the occasional area of older Windows API it has not been bound to (easily reamedied) and its advantage is its ability to easliy be extended and make use and have code automatily generated via GNATCOM for parts of Windows that don't even exist yet.
