OpenGL - framework for Win32; Xearth in Ada

This is the new page http://www.adapower.com/schroer. It contains some Ada
reuse source as well as a linked application ready for execution. The
following zip-files are given:

lib-src.zip            - Source of an Ada library with some utilities and
components. This link is wrong in http://www.adapower.com/schroer, use

http://www.adapower.com/schroer/lib-src.zip  for download.

ogl-src.zip           - Source of an OpenGL framework for Win32 including an
application (Ada-main).
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/ogl-src.zip

opengl-exe.zip     - The main-executable for MS-windows.
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/opengl-exe.zip

dlls-etc.zip           - SGI-DLLs for OpenGL on MS-windows.
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/dlls-etc.zip

bitmaps.zip          - Bitmaps used by the application.
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/bitmaps.zip

For the documentation of the Opengl-Win32 framework see
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/ogl.htm .

The application shows an analog clock and/or a rotating earth similar to the
famous xearth background image one can find on Unix. It uses a photograph of
the complete unclouded earth for texturing.

For those who only want the exe and no source:
You need opengl-exe.zip, bitmaps.zip and one of the Windows-connections
("Verknuepfung" in German) from ogl-src.zip, e.g. clock-fn.exe that sets
the command-line parameters.

As my spare time and my two little children allow, there will be future
activities on this page:

- Adaptation of a subset of LINPACK and EISPACK numerical algorithms for
Ada95 still in Ada83 style.

- Adaptation of SW for symbolic mathematics to my new lib-src standards.

- Adaptation of SW for modeling and simulation of dynamic system models
(differential equations, state-space models; parts of my thesis).

- Adaptation of the above OpenGL framework for GLUT and a port to linux.

The Ada community will be informed in Comp.Lang.Ada when SW updates on this
side have been conducted.
