"- I have read very good form tool in the PAL at
"Languages/ada/asr/formgen/form2".
 Compilation is OK but ..
 It faults basics packages whose names are "tty_io ; sys_calls ;
  file_definitions ; file_io ; bit_ops ; current_exception".
 
 Is anyone has an idea where it can be found, at least an example on a
peculiar OS.
 The best would be windows 95."


These sound like packages provided with the Meridian Ada compiler, a
rather
old Ada83 compiler, that never quite kept up with the times (it never
seemed
to get past version 4.1.4, and never took up the AI that said type
Character
could be 8 bits long (which I think would have been useful)).

I should think that most of these could be handled by the freely available
NT console IO package (which i presume would work under windows95), or 
would be covered by Ada95 anyway (bit_ops, current_Exception).
