There was a vendor at the SIGAda 98 conference who had an Ada GUI product layered on top of UIMX. If you're interested, I'll try to locate a name/contact for you. You might also want to look into the GtkAda implementation. This is a portable and multi-language GUI. I've used Aonix's GUI builder on MS Windows and it easy to use and ObjectAda on Wintel platforms is well integrated with MS Visual C/C++. -- Rush Kester Software Systems Engineer AdaSoft at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. email: rush.kester@jhuapl.edu phone: (240) 228-3030 (live M-F 9:30am-4:30pm, voicemail anytime) fax: (240) 228-6779 http://hometown.aol.com/rwkester/myhomepage/index.html
