Re: Mouse driver for Ada... how?

["J. Marshall" <a_revelation@hotmail.com>]

Thanks for that info.  I was hoping to not have to re-invent the wheel, but
it seems that existing Ada code is not quite as easy to find as I had been
told.   Management allocated 16 hours to add this piece of code into the
project, including test and documentation. So I had hoped to find some
existing code examples.  I'm sure a seasoned Ada programmer could do this
more easily.  My experience is with C and some of the "visual" languages,
mostly on Windows platforms. This VME machine is all new to me.
