Is there a *usual* interface in Ada for socket-related operations? I don't know what you mean by *usual*, but there are some bindings for various OS-es. Go directly to: http://www.rfc1149.net/devel/adasockets or http://www-inf.enst.fr/ANC/ You may try with http://www.gnuada.org/rpms313p.html and look for rpms: adasockets-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm adasockets-runtime-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm For some very useful networking stuff you should look at Ada Web Server by Pascal Obry and Dmitriy Anisimkov from http://libre.act-europe.fr/aws/ http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/contrib.html or http://www.gnuada.org/rpms313p.html (for rpms) If you do not need sockets but need networking programming get GLADE (implementation of Annex E) from ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/ or http://www.gnuada.org/ >2. Is there some more or less standard GUI lib? I've spot a Tcl/Tk >binding somewhere: > a. How does it work? > b. Is it efficient? > c. Does it require Tcl runtime installed to run programs? > d. What about Qt, for example? I have not played with GtkAda, but it should be possible to write OS indpendent code. http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda/ For Windows only there is a Claw (http://www.rrsoftware.com/) or Dawid Botton's GWindows (http://www.adapower.com/gwindows/) or JEWL by John English (http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/jewl/) >3. What is the level of portability of the source code? If you will not use compiler specific functions (portability between compilers) or OS specific bindigs (for example Claw is a Windows binding and code using it will not run under Linux) everything should be OK. >4. What is the possibility of interfacing Ada with C (mainly - using C >libs from Ada)? Ada Language Reference Manual (download from http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada95.html/) Annex B Interfacing to other languages, particularly: B.3 Interfacing with C >5. Is there a CORBA binding implemented for Ada? Yes, for example AdaBroker, http://adabroker.eu.org/ http://www.gnuada.org/rpms313p.html I heard also about GNACK - the GNU Ada CORBA Kit (as I remeber), but it required ORBit or something in this way (I don't rememer).
