Actually I want both. I want to be able to write software that runs on
Windows and also to be able to do Win32 programming using Ada and not
C/C++. The first one is of course more easy as there are a number of
tools like ObjectAda, Claw, Windex, WinAda, etc.,which one can use
(these last two are still a mystery for me at this stage of my Ada
ignorance). The second one, I understand, is more difficult as one has
to rely on one's own resources to be able to do it, but it gives one
more freedom to do whatever one wants. But, of course, first I have to
learn well my Ada and then the Win32 APIs :) :).
