After the reception that BotF's interface got, I'm amazed that anyone is willing
to repeat any part of it. 

As for hand-writing widgets and directly accessing disks, Ada really shouldn't
be an issue. There's no super-duper featue in C that Ada doesn't have an analog
to, and anything in an external C library can be accessed via a "pragma import
(C,...)". The biggest issue is typcially deciphering complex C macros.

If that's the rough Vulcan equivalent to "Up your nose with a rubber hose,
Kotter", then its probably about right. :-)
