Date: 1996/10/24 Message-ID: #1/1 X-Deja-AN: 191904267 references: <3265CA04.521A@easystreet.com> content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII organization: National University, San Diego mime-version: 1.0 newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1996-10-24T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: There are a lot of efforts to develop Ada compilers and tools to support windows. ObjectAda from Thomson (Aion pretty soon) Software is a good candidate. Another, soon to be available tool is "CLAW" from RR Software in Madison, Wisconsin. CLAW is a thick binding in which the packages are designed to look like Ada, and it requires no knowledge of C++ or other languages -- just good old-fashioned Ada 95. It will work with GNAT, the DDC-I NT compiler, ObjectAda, and any other Windows 95 or Windows NT compiler. Oh, and yes, it also works with RR Software's Ada 95 compiler. CLAW should work with any Windows 95 or Windows NT Ada compiler. You can use to draw dialog boxes, message boxes, list boxes, and all the other kinds of objects one expects to create and manage when developing for Windows. RR Software is located in Madison, Wisconsin. I don't have their phone number handy since I am away from my office this week, but it should be available from AdaIC or through information.
