GWindows Status

GWindows Status

[Jeff]

What's the status of GWindows?  The links at AdaPower.com appear to be
broken and a quick google search did not result in any alternate sites
or mirrors.

Also, assuming it is still alive, does it provide a good solution for
native Window guis or are there better alternatives?

Sergio Gomez has a download of it here:
http://www.etse.urv.es/~sgomez/ada/

It's revision 1.4 of GWindows (I believe it's the latest version, someone
may correct me if I'm wrong :-).

I'd say you best take a look at it yourself to see if it answers your needs.

There seems to be some issue. The files are on the server, but are not 
being served. It should be fixed shortly.

GWindows is a good solution for native Windows GUIs, but commercial 
support is only available for CLAW at this time from RR Software.

It lives.  David Botton posted to the gnavi list (the gwindows list) a 
few weeks ago after somethings went missing on the website.  He said he 
was working on things, but was very busy so it was a slow process. 
David also indicated problems with his isp servers and files going 
missing before transferring to the new server.

IMO for windows development Gwindows is very good.  I started using it 
when I developed soley for windows and found it very easy to work with. 
  I'd use it now, but there isn't a linux port and I don't fancy messing 
with Wine.

The server has been repared. Everything should be available now.

It looks like AdaPower will have a co-webmaster soon.... so, updates 
should be coming :-)

Commercial support is also available for GtkAda from ACT.

That is not a native Windows GUI solution.

Just checked - I can't get in at all -

"Directory Listing Denied

Furthermore, I still can't receive anything from the gwindows/GNATCOM
mailing list; would it be possible to set up a news server with a
bidirectional gateway to the mailing list? Or maybe a web archive of
the mailing list?
