HP Ada compiler does not compile record representation clauses in X_lib_.a. This means that you cannot specify which bits corresponds to which fields. This feature seems to be crucial to Ada/C (C in Xlib) interface. The X11 binding came with the disclaimer saying the code compiled only on Sun Alsys compiler. HP Ada is from Alsys, but it may be wimpier (older version, probably v3.1) than Sun Alsys Ada (v3.2). ---Daniel Lee ---Inference Corporation ---ucbvax!trwrb!smpvax!sdl
