Our position here at KonAd:

1)
Every effort which leads to a broader use of Ada should be supported.

2)
Building a library or binding which for easy construction of
production quality GUI interfaces on the windows operating system
is an effort in the sense of 1).

3)
Last year we decided to extend GWindows because we had to decide
something (otherwise no money) and GWindows was there: free, available,
easy to use and to extend.

4)
Of course we will participate in every community effort concerning
the further development of GWindows.
