The background is - I'm trying to rewrite an application written originally in a different language. The program itself is rather trivial - just a shell passing data around. However, it depends on a number of interfaces and that's where problems start. Specifically, I'm looking for one set of: MAPI, DBF/CDX, WinSock or MAPI, DBF/CDX, Zip All of them together would be best but either of WinSock or Zip would do. I tried ObjectAda at first, because it contains thin bindings to MAPI and WinSock within it's Win32API. However, it appears now that they are only available with a full (not the free downloadable) version. I know that those two at least could be done with import pragmas, but to reimplement all those bindings from scratch would account for well over 99% of the total effort which is prohibitive. I did check AdaHome, PAL and a few other pages from postings in this NG, but the only item I managed to find was a rather old ('85) MAPI implementation for VAX/VMS. While it was interesting to look through the code there, it didn't seem really applicable to NT/95 configuration. So, could somebody provide more specific pointers to those bindings (if they exist)? MAPI could be a stripped-down version - just read/send message + address resolution, no need for attachments etc. WinSock is server side - listening sockets, multiple concurrent sessions and all that. I am currently using [trying to use] ObjectAda for W95/NT. NT is the target machine with 95 used for developement/testing purposes. Any pointers appreciated. Thank you, AG (BTW, I apologise for not using my full name)
