They should be portable to any Ada95 implementation (Gnat, ObjectAda, and GreenHills tested so far). Right now I have tenatively modified the source to use the gnat-customized GPL (we need a catchier name for that) and am in the process of writing a simple example program. I'll probably also want to make some minimal documentation for them before initial release. Unfortunately my schedule is already incredibly full, so I can't as yet say if it will take another week or a month.
