I have been watching this from lurking distance, and it seems to me
that you are all missing the point.  You want a GUI interface to
Ada.  So the first thing to define is that interface.  What OS it
runs on is immaterial.  Obviously the first implementation will be
(is) to Windoze.  I consider that a database interface is a
different feathered horse.
