- **** Announcing the Second Release of the ****
- **** Presentation Manager bindings for Ada95 ****
-
- This free "entry level" set of bindings is designed to help developers
- make an early entry into using Ada95 and writing PM applications.
- As part of the release, several executables are included demonstrating
- (at a simple level, anyway) the efficiency and execution speed of
- the free Ada95 compiler.
-
- This set of bindings assumes the developer has a rudimentary knowledge
- of both PM programming and Ada95. This release also requires, as a
- minimum, GNAT 2.04 (the GNU Ada95 compiler). If you do not have this
- version, download it (or later versions) from cs.nyu.edu, look under
- /pub/gnat.
-
- The bindings themselves can be found at cs.nyu.edu under
- pub/gnat/contrib/os2/PM. In the contrib area, you'll also find
- the ada-mode emacs extensions which works well with PM Emacs for OS/2.
-
- Ada95 is worth scrutinizing for OS/2 developers who desire the speed
- of C++ but also want a language less cryptic and more reliable. More
- information about the Ada95 programming language can be found at
- html://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/, which includes an HTML version of the Ada
- programming language reference, rationale, tutorials, and many other
- goodies.
