    Gentlemen,

    I was looking for nearly free Gui (with some elementary Gui building
assistance) in Ada95. Portability between Windows and Motif is also a
concern.

    This very group helped me with some pointers , but finally my quest
ended with Tash+Rapid as the only candidate. It seems however a very
indirect approach to me (needing a tcl/tk interpreter to which ada hooks
in then) and my _feeling_ (sorry for that ;-) ) is that it is not a nice
and clean approach.

    I was wondering if something like wxWindows (C/C++) could not be
ported or bound somehow to Ada95 ? Maybe it is not the cleanest program
around neither, but it gives at least the possibility to produce
standalone programs. Did someone try this already ? Would it be worth
the effort ?

    All comments, including those to correct my feeling ;-) , are
welcome.

    Best regards,

    Jos (only speaking for himself, not for his company)
