I like CLAW because it is Ada. I would like tools that translated XML schemas into Ada data types and Ada data types into XML schemas. An Ada binding to XForms would be excellent. Unfortunately, neither XForms nor XML:Fo have a solid implementation. I suspect if the XML developers had used Ada, the software would be done and reliable. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org] On Behalf Of Preben Randhol Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 1:36 PM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: A standard package for config files is needed On Sat, 1 Jun 2002 10:48:03 -0700, Robert C.

Alternatively when GtkAda 2.0 comes (I mean when there are working binaries for Windows and Linux) it would be even easier to work with against Windows as you can do the development on Linux ;-) As for XML and GUI, check: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/libglade/libglade-notes.html#LIBGLADE -BASICS and http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda/docs/gtkada_rm_30.html Is this what you are looking for?
