David Botton seems to have fallen off the edge of the world, and it occursto me that his AdaPower web site could do the same thing. It occurs to me that Adaworld would be a goot temporary location, even if it eventually moves to Sourceforge or Tigris. That would supply a bit of insurance in case Adapower's plug gets yanked, and would allow us tp proceed with development and still have some time to build a consensus on a future home for GWindows. On another front - the proposed bug list. I have an item for it. This might be described as a restriction rather than a bug; this is in GWindows.Databases. I was using one of the Field_Value functions to get a SQL Server datetime value into a variable of type Time (as defined in Ada.Calendar). The problem is that the range of dates that can be expressed with a variable of type Time is too narrow, and one of the GNATCOM routines which converts the date extracted from SQL Server into a Time choked on a date with a year before 1901. GNATCOM and GWindows need a calendar package similar to Ada.Calendar which is based on a native Windows time representation.
