You should be very happy with the ActivAda for wWindows system. It contains
the things that you liked in the IntegrAda for Windows and visual Ada system
wrapped around the Alsys 32 compiler.

It can be complicated to use for someone not familiar with the Alsys way of
doing things, but once you have mastered that you will find it a very productive
tool. We use it on a daily basis to create "multi-media" applications for a
commercial client and have been thinking of marketing the multimedia libraries
separately, or through Alsys.

If you want to see ActivAda, you can download a copy of the demo disk from my FTP
site at "ftp.znet.com (local directory is 'access\pcada'). Orders and support for
ActivAda are available from us or Alsys.
