Even without this list, I had no trouble upgrading my application (a
books database GUI, with ODBC MySQL back end).

I had to replace GEntry.Get_Chars with GEntry.Get_Text; otherwise, it
compiles, links, and runs!

I get one run-time warning:

** (books.exe:4294522367): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to "Sans 8"

I'll see if I can find that in the docs.

Then I have to figure out how to use MDI and Drag'n'Drop, which were
not in Windows GtkAda 1.3. That will make my app comparable to the
Visual Basic one I wrote years ago :).
