Greetings All,

I am starting work on a plug in / dynamic library project with ADA and just
wanted to see if I had missed anything.  I understand that this is very
compiler and OS dependent.

Under Linux the accepted method is using the DLibs bindings to dlopen etc
http://www.cyberdanx.co.uk/ada95/dlibs.html

Under Windows the accepted method is using COM
http://www.gnavi.org/gnatcom/

I found a post from last year which mentions: "there is a AdaPlugin project
for Linux that use Dynamic Glib Module functionnality" but did not provide
any more information - I have been unable to find such a project.

I would most obliged if anybody has pointers to any other ada dynamic
library implimentations (especially under Linux/Unix).

Thank you very much in advance,

Andrew
