Hello,
For a while I work on a Plugin [1] for 4NT [2] and Take Command. I got the
first release out. Yes it lives.
This is real great fun. First there is Win32Ada. Win32 itself is a pain -
but Win32Ada makes it even worse by using library level access types
everywhere - even when anonymous access or "in out" would be far more
appropriate.
But what really saddens me is the fact that Ada 2005 still uses String for
filenames. I just found out that Ada.Directories.Search chokes on filenames
with wide characters. Since Windows uses UTF-16 for filenames even a simple
Latin-1 "ᅵ" is in that group.
Anyway, if you want to have a good laugh at code using Win32Ada you can
download the sources from:
