"In any case, the real problem with Win32Ada is that it
 is stuck at NT 3.5.  This is why we also make available
 an alternate binding that actually evolves with the API
 (and has no funny Gatesian license restrictions.)  Then 
 again there are other options like the CLAW binding."


Also we have totally open source products such as WINE, which 
provides for the Windows API for totally non Microsoft
environments such as Linux.

I wonder is someone could make an Ada binding to WINE, that
would just happen to have the lucky coincidence of working 
with Windows :-)
