There are many class libraries already available, usually only for
XWindows and Win32, though. I thought of taking one of these libraries
and adapting it for OS/2 in my spare time, either by porting to PM or
by using Open32 to make the Win32 code run on OS/2. The latter approach
opens up a lot of other code, as well.

Only a few problems...

No spare time.
I'm getting the impression that Win32 for Ada isn't freeware/GPL.
  Maybe that impression is wrong???
Where to start? Fresco? Qt? V? etc...
Then there are the other problems with giving away code...

I know of several sets of PM bindings for Ada, and presently have at
least two laying around somewhere on disk. None of them are 'class
libraries', though, more just Ada packaging of C functions.
