Re: A question and a request

[Eric Merritt <cyberlync@yahoo.com>]

Jim,

Thanks you, I don't expect to be alot of trouble. I
have, from past experience, found out how hard it is
to learn to do something correctly without anyone with
experience around for a guide. I decided to port a
java gui toolkit named Subartic to Ada as my first
project, since I have the source for Subartic and
permission to port it, it should be fairly easy. In
any case, I already have a few simple sources
available namly Dimension, Point, and Rectangle. They
are pretty small, once I get the changes made that
this last discussion has brought about I would like to
show them too you. Once again, thank you very much, I
did not actually expect anyone to volunteer. 

Thank You
Eric
