About a month ago I posted a question here on how to access the mouse in
an Ada Console Application.

I got many helpful hints, plus a few comments from people, who would
like to do the same, or to use the function keys or other extended keys.

Thanks to all this, I have now made a package containing
the procedures  Get_Mouseclick, Get_Keyclick, Get_Mouse_Or_Key, and
Get_Key_Name_Text.

The package uses ReadConsoleInputA and GetKeyNameTextA from Win32.
(Heavily inspired by Jerry van Dijk's excellent NT_CONSOLE package)

I'll be glad to mail a the package plus a demo to anyone interested.
(patience: I am off until next monday)
