Gents I'd like to do a GUI application in ADA.  The application will
be run on Solaris.  Is there a 'free' toolset I could start off with
that offers ease of use.  Rapid seems to be the only one.   In any
event, help.


Could someone provide sample code on accomplishing a task.  I have an
application where I want the user to enter up to 250 values max. 
Values are in the range 1 .. 65535.
So now the user will first tell me how many values he wants:  lets
assume the user wants 10 values.
My next question would be for user to enter the 10 values within the
range specified above.  I'll then store user defined values into an
array which I'll pass on to a function that'll take user defined
values and parse into 'hibyte versus lobyte'.   The function part i
can handle however,the user selection part I'm a bit confused about.

I'd like to also have the option to to use a random number generator. 
 This helps such that if the user watns 200 values.  I'll generate 200
random numbers within specified range.

So now my 'menu' would look like this:
  -- 1. How many numbers.  
  -- 2. Random Numbers or User defined
  -- 3. Store numbers into array.  
  -- 4. Pass numbers into function.

I could do all this in Visual C etc, but as i'm learning Ada I've
grown to like it and am now trying to perfect my Ada.

Thanks in advance
