Alex, sorry, been hammered with deadlines and too tired at night to even look at a screen.

1) and 2) would go a long way to helping others starting down this path, and that's the point, at least from my perspective. Everyone talks about promoting the language, and to me, this is one of the more outstanding ways I've seen.

3) I can't believe you can't set dependencies as you say, but who knows, you might be right. If not, a mention in the README should certainly be sufficient.

4) Figured something like that.

5) I did monkey around with changing the target runtimes myself to more recent ones, but didn't seem to make much difference, but defaulting to more recent ones is definitely the way to go.

I guess just emphasizing that you HAVE to build THIS and THIS first (the WinRT stuff) before using Visual Ada, you know, step A, B, and C - as you said, would help a lot. 

I suppose I could start doing PRs for documentation suggestions or other issues of course, on the WinRT stuff. When/if VisualAda goes to GitHub, same thing.

I'm just having fun doing this, and hey, anything I can do to help. I have absolutely no need for GtkAda, and doing a Windows app in Ada is still to me  mind-blowing.

I did try to build a UWP DLL the other day and ran into an error, can't remember what it was exactly, but when I get a chance, I'll pass along the details.

I strongly suspect deploying a VisualAda UWP app to Xbox WILL work, just haven't had the chance to set it up yet. But will soon.

Again, thanks for all of this incredible work,
Greg
