VAD 3.1 Common description.
1. VAD ( Visual Ada Developer ) is a tcl/tk oriented Ada-95 GUI builder
which portable to difference platforms, such as Windows NT/9x,Unix(Linux),
Mac and OS/2.

VAD generates and uses *.gui file in text format for abstract
widgets descriptions. This file has a simple format and may be corrected
manually. Program Adabuild generates Ada sources and tcl test script from it.
Command format is : adabuild <project name>[.gui]
VAD (Adabuild) generates next files :
<project name>.adb - main ada program
<project name>init.ads - initialized gui package
<project name>init.adb
<project name>event.ads - Event handlers package
<project name>event.adb ( empty functions for events).
<project name>.tcl - TCL script for quick check.
VAD need system variable VAD_HOME
for example : SET VAD_HOME=C:\VAD3.1
New project you may write with full path
for example : d:\fly\report
TCL/TK is a script language and it has many difference forms to
describe widget.
For widget placing I use disp (layout) property with follow means:
----
noplace (defaults)
place
grid
pack
and manager property for tcl script building
-------
For example for placing widget .w.b in pack layout need to write
disp :pack
manager:.w.b -side top
If you want to pack several widgets in one pack (for example 3)
look at packbuton.gui sample.
In addcreate property you may write all addition information for widget
creation.
I tried to write online help for many of used properties and simple
samples. More complex sample is FTP ( 70 widgets).
Unfortunately , if script has mistakes system generates EXCEPTION
and abnormal ended, but VAD tries to create ABEND.GUI file with
all entering widgets ( without last) and exception information in vad.prn
You may save building project part and continue work in VAD.
Some changing in widgets you may see immediately (I recommend to save
information before property/event switching by click Add Widget/Correct Widget button)
, but global changing you may see only after REDRAW ( menu TEST) execution.
HELP menu allows by internal HTML viewer ( I use HTML_LIBRARY package
from sun)
This is a version 3.1(beta) and it contains some bugs, but
I hope it will useful for Ada programmers and easy in work. This is
an effective way to build gui oriented system independent applications
in pure ADA-95.
VAD 3.1 supports many of image formats such as
BMP, XBM, XPM, GIF (with transparency), PNG, JPEG, TIFF and
postscript. I use Img1.2 package
For formats difference from xbm and gif you may used jpeg image type.

I tried to download it from freeservers.com, but I got these stupid error messages about some of the
ZIP files being over 512k (and therefore not being downloadable.) Perhaps you can fix this?
