[Leonid]

  V I S U A L  A D A   D E V E L O P E R  (VAD) version 5.3

    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 Utils menu you may
    IMPORT widgets from others projects
    for example, you may export project to NoteBook page of new project

 2. From WIZARD menu you may
    COPY PROPERTIES From early building widget.

 3. From HELP -> ADA menu  you may read my little paper
    "Non formal introduction to Ada-95"

 4. New design

 5. Many new samples

 VAD 5.3 has four  realization  for tcl/tk 8.0.x,for tcl/tk 8.2.3,tcl/tk 
8.3.1
     and for tcl/tk 8.4a2 (last version).

   This is a version 5.3  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.

    VAD 5.3 supports many of image formats such as

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