[gtkada] Glade

[Rob Groen]

Hello all,

And then there is of course the possibility to use Glade as a GUI 
builder and to use a parser/code generator that takes the .glade file 
(XML) as input and generates Ada packages.
I still have a by my self updated and maintained working version of the 
old gate3-in Ada code generator. Some years ago I posted an URL to the 
source code on this mailing list (the URL is now defunct) but I haven't 
got a clue if someone is using it. I am.
