It is a c language gui builder. They have an addon (no cost?) called Lightning that supposedly lets you use ada. You get a very small set of bindings, not enough to avoid getting/writting a real set of bindings. We found the lightning addon un very unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons, including that it uses the teleuse (c) product in a VERY nonstandard way. We ended up junking lightning and writing our ada code to meet the teleuse (c) api. Worked well. Only issue is, even with paid support for teleuse AND lightning AONIX (the vendor) pretty much refuses to address any ada questions. The normal response is "the only ada support we provide is for programs using the lightning addon". At this point AOINX has 2 strikes against them... The 1st is the above issue, which is being re-visited at the moment. so there is a possibility they will see the light at some point (assuming they do not read this -g-) the second was that they will not give you a new license key if you do not have an active maintince contract. There view apparently is that they are selling you the right to use the product so long as you have an active maint contract. If your maint contract expires and you loose the motherboard that the teleuse lic. is tied to then in there view you have lost the right to use the product that they sold you. Shame, because the teleuse c gui-builder is fairly decent. -al
