"I am working on an application in which the client end (user interface)

looking
at using RPC as our means of communications. I am looking for a IDL
compiler or RPC generator that will generate Ada83 RPC stuff.
I have an IDL compiler for NT that generates C from Microsoft and I
have access to the RPC generator on the Sparc (which also generates
C), what I really need is something that will do the same thing for
Ada83."
The distributed systems annex (DSA) would be one good way of accomplishing
this if
you can move to Ada95
you can get partioning tool support for your client computers
(Glade (a PCS tool for Gnat) only does Linux & Sparc, not NT)
you could write an Ada backend network interface for your C++ code.
The final picture would be...
NT Solaris
DSA
User ->|C++ front end...Ada backend | <------------> | remote client
|
Glade may be inappropriate because
a It doesn't support NT (as yet, i don't know what the latest is)
b It doesn't support Passive Shared partitions (which i think
you'ld need at the solaris end).
However you can get a support agreement with ACT/Glade people to develop
this for you.
ADEPT, another partitioning tool, may be of use, I'm not really sure.
