Maybe not for (1). The Win32Ada binding will fail to compile (4 or 5
packages)
with GNAT 3.10. In fact GNAT 3.10 (I'am an ACT customer and this is a
pre-release
that is not yet public) the definition of Interfaces.C.wchar_t is now a
modular type and
was (in GNAT 3.09) a Wide_Character, and this is correct because the
wchar_t is 
stated
to be <implementation_defined> in the RM. So the Win32Ada binding made a
wrong
assumption and should be fixed. I have made this fix and I did send the fix
to Mitch Gart
from Intermetrics... But I still don't have an answer from him.

So will the Win32Ada binding maintained and fixed ?
This is why I said that I'am not sure for (1).

But it is hopefully true that (3) is an old problem now !

Pascal.
