The Ada/DCE Bindings provide standard Ada 95 bindings to DCE 1.1 for use in the distributed environment as part of the Joint Common Operating Environment (COE) and for all other DoD systems. The software runs on Sun SPARC, Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 operating systems, and requires the following: Open Software Foundation (OSF) DCE, v. 1.03/1.1; GCC v. 2.6.3 for Solaris; and, GNAT compiler 2.07 for Solaris. For a library user account, contact Mr. Ray Lloyd; tel. 703/806-4181, DSN 656-4181.

DEFINE_CRT is an Ada package that instantiates a generic Cathode Ray Tube Template. The generic package provides operations to get and put elements at specified columns and set display attributes. DEFINE KEYS is an Ada package that retrieves keyboard inputs and returns the corresponding code. It deals with keys other that the alphanumeric inputs, such as "TAB" or "F1" keys.
