If "Object Ada for Linux" is not available, I consider that you should port your sources to GNAT (or others support Linux) at first, before considering GUI, although you think that might be painful. IMHO, you are *happy* because your sources does not include GUI now. If you change compiler sooner or later, do it *now*, not after you add GUI. GUI might add more dependency upon compiler or OS to your sources, as you understand. -- Toshitaka Kumano Kamakura, Japan
