To get into the STARS repository -- ASSET -- you have to get an account.
Write to librarian@source.asset.com.

I'm from the AdaNET repository, which is also a FREE repository (NASA 
sponsored).  If you're interested, let me know your complete address 
(and not the email address), and we'll send you more information and 
an application.

For the X binding, will this be helpful?

Ada Implementation of the Xt Toolkit (Ada/Xt)  
---------------------------------------------

AdaNET object: 6126
We got this from:  ftp GOGOL.CENATLS.CENA.DGAC.FR (anonymous)   <=== the quick
                   directory: /pub/ada                               way .. :-)

Ada/Xt is an Ada implementation of the MIT X Toolkit (Xt).
Xt consists of a set of intrinsics interfaces, which 
provide operations for construction, arrangement, and 
manipulation of windows, and a set of widgets, which are 
window objects ranging from buttons and scrollbars to text 
editors.  Xt is built on top of Xlib, which is a low-level 
library of window primitives.  The routines in Xlib 
provide window functionality by communicating with the X 
window server using the X Window System protocol.
