File vad\tutorial\vadtutor.htm VAD 5.5 has four realization for tcl/tk 8.0.x,for tcl/tk 8.2.3,tcl/tk 8.3.3 and for tcl/tk 8.4a3 (last version). This is a version 5.5 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.
