Just to make it clear: my idea is not at all to make GWindows the candidate as the "New Ada portable GUI Library"; my point is that more effort should be given *now* to GWindows if you want to attract *some time later* enough Ada programmers for the much more ambitious project of an "Ada portable GUI Library" (or any other big project, like an "Ada OS"). Such projects seem to me to need the cooperation of a large number of people. Right now, there is not enough forces in the Ada community. So, IMHO, for *now*, we need to concentrate on less ambitious, more targeted and directly useful projects. Perhaps we (including me!) should spend less time bla-bla-ting on c.l.a., it would not hurt the progress of our projects... ______________________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/index.htm Ada programming -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gsoft.htm NB: For a direct answer, e-mail address on the Web site!
