This is getting to the point where it needs to be in the FAQ. Yes, several folks have DIS-related Ada applications. There is, or at least used to be, some "low-level" DIS bindings for Ada available from Loral's DIS bbs. Low-level bindings are good for a quick-and-dirty solution, but are really no better than coding your application in C. I don't know if they are still floating around anywhere. If Loral doesn't have them, you could try asking IST. To my knowledge, there are no high-level Ada-DIS bindings commercially available. We have a set we use internally here at Martin Marietta, which might be for sale, if you can interest our marketting folk. T.E.D. dennison@escmail.orl.mmc.com p.s.
