Hello,
I am looking for Ada binding to Motif and Open Look. Does anyone know
where I can get them. It is very urgent.
Thanks in Advance

It is very urgent. i'm not sure any exist, but it turns out this was one of the problems we accidently solved with serpent. serpent supports user interface development using both the motif and athena toolkit widget sets for X windows AND includes an Ada binding. this allows the development of ada applications for these X window toolkits but requires the use of serpent. we don't necessarily view this as a bad thing, however. 8^} we have not yet integrated the Open Look toolkit but we have developed a tool that allows the easy integration of X intrinsic based toolkits (i.e., XTK+ but not XViews). this tool is provided with serpent and we can assist you in the integration if you chose to attempt it. our experience has been that it takes approximately 1/2 hour per widget to integrate a new, X intrinsic based toolkit. support for both ada and X has been a strong selling point for serpent. there are several groups who are currently developing ada applications with Motif based user interfaces using serpent. Also, SAIC developed an Ada binding to Xlib under STARS contract. The (new! improved!) X11R4 binding (for several different compilers) will be released sometime in September. To get on the mailing list for further information, send mail to x-ada-request@expo.lcs.mit.edu. serpent is available for anonymous ftp and is also available on the MIT X11 Contrib tape.
