RAPID 2.0 released

RAPID 2.0 released

[Martin C. Carlisle]

I am pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of the RAPID Ada 
Portable Interface Designer.  This tool allows a user to "draw" a 
GUI and have all of the Ada code automatically generated.

Version 2.0 is a complete redesign.  A new OO hierarchy is provided 
(Mcc.Gui), which greatly obscures the implementation details.  Also, this
provides the ability to have the same generated code run on multiple
implementations.  Right now, only a Tcl implementation is provided, 
but JVM and Win32 implementations are planned.  When these are available, 
any generated code can select them with a simple recompilation.

RAPID 2.0 also adds new widgets (progress bar, slider, listbox), tooltips,
and better editing facilities.

RAPID is freeware, distributed using the GNU general public license.
