Since there are a number of people who seem to have misplaced this
information:
The current release of the Ada binding for X Windows from SAIC under STARS
contract is available on the AJPO.SEI.CMU.EDU computer for retrieval via
anonymous ftp (in the UNIX directory ~ftp/public/infoada/x11 - get x11.tar.Z
in BINARY mode if you are on another UNIX site and have the compress
utility; - go to the directory ~ftp/public/infoada/x11/x11 and get the
individual files in ASCII mode if not). It is also available from SAIC -
point of contact is provided in the original announcement, repeated below.
Release 2 of the binding is due out shortly (I have been told it is
something like the next couple weeks). It corrects some non-portabilities
in the initial implementation.
There is only ONE binding, presumably attempting to be sufficiently portable
to work across all known compilers and hardware.
