X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8] Date: Tue, 28 Mar 1995 19:06:20 GMT Date: 1995-03-28T19:06:20+00:00 List-Id: I will soon be finishing up an X binding and I would like to find some people who are interested in helping to test it. I would like to get back comments, bug reports, and if possible some test programs that do interesting things using the binding. The binding is an Ada 95 binding to X11R5, to the Xlib, Xt, and Motif programming API's. It is a pretty direct binding. The Ada 95 features it uses heavily are general access types and child packages, but there are no tagged types. The mapping is direct in the sense that there is mostly a 1-1 mapping between C header file Ada package C type Ada type C function Ada function or procedure C variable or constant Ada variable or constant The binding has been developed with GNAT 2.03 on Sun-4 but I would be very interested in finding someone who is able to test it on another platform, or with another Ada 95 compiler. The binding will come with a few test programs, taken from examples in the O'Reilly X books and translated from C to Ada. More test programs are needed. If you are interested in being a reviewer or tester of this binding, contact me by email. I will probably be ready to send out the first copies sometime next week. Mitch Gart mg@inmet.com
