It is based on the free AdaEd interpreted Ada system available from NYU. 1. The Ledger program. This is an accounting system using conventional double-entry bookeeping, with a nice WIMP interface. 2. X/Intrinsics/OLIT binding for AdaEd. Sorry, the OLIT bit is not free, but bindings for other toolkits could easily be added by the adventurous. 3. Purgatory. A package of UNIX interface routines for AdaEd. Direct access to UNIX read/write, forks, pipes, etc. 4. Various bug-fixes for AdaEd; also the wherewithal to compile it under Solaris 2.n. Generally, each item in the above list requires the ones below it in the list (so hopefully my intrinsics/OLIT package will be of use, even if you do not want my Ledger program). The ftp directory /pub/chl/LEDGER contains sub-directories for all the items listed, each with a README explaining what is on offer, what it requires, where to get it (notably AdaEd itself), etc. The whole lot carries a GNU Copyleft. Retrieve and enjoy! Note Followup to comp.lang.ada. -- Charles H. Lindsey ------------------------------------------------------------- At Home, doing my own thing.
