Re: Ada and X/Motif

[jhopper@erinet.com (jim hopper)]

Have you looked at Xforms?? its a gui builder and library that makes
building x gui's very simple.  there is a nice extension to it that
converts the c code xforms spits out to ada95.  

its available on a wide variety of platforms (shameless plug : I just
ported it to mac for use with gnat on the Mac, download from the xforms
site)  and has excellent documentation.

i know this isn't a direct answer but using this toolkit may allow you
to do what you want with less work.
