ANNOUNCE: VAD 5.2 (Visual Ada Developer) version Leonid Dulman

[Leonid Dulman]

  V I S U A L  A D A   D E V E L O P E R  (VAD) version 5.2

    VAD ( Visual Ada Developer ) is a tcl/tk oriented Ada-95 GUI builder
which portable to difference platforms, such as Windows 
NT/9x,Unix(Linux),
Mac  and OS/2.

  What's new

 1. From Gnat menu you may
    reset environment variable ADA_INCLUDE_PATH , ADA_OBJECTS_PATH, 
LIBRARY_PATH
                               CPP_INCLUDE_PATH , C_INCLUDE_PATH
    compile ada,c or cpp sources
    build executable
    execute

 2. Support GTK widget collection by TclGtk package

 3. Gnat 3.13p compiling binaries

 VAD 5.2 has four  realization  for tcl/tk 8.0.x,for tcl/tk 8.2.3,tcl/tk 
8.3.1
     and for tcl/tk 8.4a1 (last version).

   This is a version 5.2  and I hope it will be useful for Ada 
programmers
 and easy in work.
   This is an effective way to build gui oriented system independent
applications  in pure ADA-95.

BMP, XBM, XPM, GIF (with transparency), PNG, JPEG, TIFF and
postscript.  I use Img1.2 package
