Speaking as an "application" developer, using GWindows, CLAW or other native
framework will always give you a superior product on Windows. I prefer to
always abstract the GUI and write a version of the GUI front end for each
platform in their native framework (GtkAda for Linux, GWindows for Windows,
Cocoa for MacOSX, etc.)
Of course if you are just "hacking" a front end that end users will not be
using, GtkAda works OK on windows.
Support for GWindows/GNATCOM and GtkAda are both available from ACT
(sales@gnat.com)
