That's not an option.
First, I develop on windows but it has to run on Unix too.
Second and more important:
DTED is an important standard format and I want a quality implementation.
If I use a binding I have to live with the implementation. If I would get an
Ada
implementation where I'm not happy with I can alter it. The DTED-format is
not so complicated that this is not acceptable.

I just wrote these 3 lines to c.l.a in the hope someone could save me a few
days
of hacking.
