In addition to the references to GNAT code cited by Robert Dewar, here are
some other suggestions:
There is a TCL/Tk binding to Ada available at: "http://tash.calspan.com/"
For OS functionality bindings there is a POSIX Ada binding (1003.5b)
specifications and implementation at
"http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/ftp/pub/PART/FLORIST/".
The implementation is called FLORIST, and is for use with GNAT. This is an
active project, with new releases appearing from time to time.
