Win32Ada is an Ada 95 binding for Windows. Release 2.0 works with the
Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface available on Windows
NT and Windows 95. Its major features are:

    direct binding between Ada and C, so programmers' knowledge of the
Win32 API can be reused and existing Windows documents and books can
be reused;

    extensive coverage of the Win32 API; 

    good Ada 95 style; 

    extensive online help including Ada help and hyperlinks to the
Microsoft help for the C language API;

    a small but interesting library of sample programs written in Ada
95 which perform Windows functions.

Win32Ada has been tested on Intel 486 and Pentium platforms using
Windows NT 3.5, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 95, and the GNAT 3.01 Ada 95
compiler.

Development of Win32Ada was funded by the Ada Joint Program Office.

Does anyone know of a (european) mirror that holds this file ?
I did not succeed in anyone of my numerous attempts to download these
bindings.
