In either case, you need a binding to that package. If it's a vendor-specific graphics package you're dealing with, you need to talk to the vendor. In the case of X Windows, there are several X Windows bindings packages. I believe that there is at least one available through ASSET. Also, the Software Engineering Research Corporation (I think that's what SERC stands for) has an Ada/Motif bindings package. I use it and I think it's pretty good. -- | Mike Bishop | The opinions expressed here reflect | | bishopm@source.asset.com | those of this station, its management, | | Member: Team Ada | and the entire world. |
