While working for SPS in Indialantic, FL, I did a partial port of the SAIC X/Ada bindings to VAX Ada. With this binding, we were able to port a large (120K wc LOC) inteactive information processing system from a Sun 3/60 with the MIT Xlib and Verdix to a VAXStation II with DECWindows and VAX Ada with zero changes. I was impressed. Mark Nelson at SAIC received these updates but I don't think they made it into the distribution. You may want to follow up with SPS (info@sps.com) or with Mark (uunet!seismo!esosun!mark). -- Bud -- Bud Bach - Consultant c/o Motorola 708 632-6611 Cellular Infrastructure Group ...!uunet!motcid!bachww or 1501 W.
