V I S U A L A D A D E V E L O P E R (VAD) version 5.5
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. New widget html (power html viewer) from addwidgets and scrolled
widgets pages
2. New widgets from Scrolled Widgets page : scrolled
text,canvas,listbox, mclistbox and html
3. From Wizard -> Tcl Script menu you may
Create window (in canvas or text ...) and use it as scrollable frame;

VAD 5.5 has four realization for tcl/tk 8.0.x,for tcl/tk 8.2.3,tcl/tk

and for tcl/tk 8.4a3 (last version).
This is a version 5.5 and I hope it will be useful for Ada

This is an effective way to build gui oriented system independent
applications in pure ADA-95.

Leonid has demonstrated quite a commitment to developing and upgrading
VAD. But I rarely see any mention of it outside of his upgrade
announcements. Anyone have any experience they'd care to share?
Just curious...
