[gtkada] Obsolescent packages

[Bertus]

To All,

I am a Windows 10 user and in search for Graphical design program for 
GtkAda (I am using the latest version of Gtk downloaded from AdaCore) 
which creates ADA code . I need to use ADA code for instance because I 
use variable /_Strings _/because I am creating multilanguage programs so 
I need /Open_text(Language)/ instead of /"Open"/. Glade cannot do this. 
When looking at Rapid it looked like the solution but wirh this problems 
I am not sure, the version is an old one.
There is a second problem. I do miss a good description to install TCL 
and Rapid, all are described in a unix like sequence while in Windows 
these thing are not very simple to do, a set of install programs for the 
different parts would be a nice solution.
