Go to my website (http://www.adaworld.com) and go the to "Ada Projects" by clicking the projects section button on the left. You have 2 choices.... In The "Binding Projects" you'll find AdaOpenGL which is exactly what the name inplies :-). In the "Library Projects" You'll see Engine_3D which is a Pure Ada 3D Engine that doesn't rely on anything else but Ada source code... The choice is yours :-) Hope that helps -- St�phane Richard "Ada World" Webmaster http://www.adaworld.com "Frank J.
