Answer: Most of the information in this answer (parts 1 and 2) is probably
very dated by now. If anyone wants to provide updates, I'll include them. In
the meantime, Ada users are encouraged to visit the Ada Information
Clearinghouse (AdaIC) at:

(The Jan. 96 change updates the information provided by Thomson Software
Products.)

Answer:  Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS) supplies Ada bindings to
Motif for a number of platforms and Ada compilers.  ICS also provides Builder
Xcessory, a Motif interface builder, which outputs Ada code usable with the
Ada bindings.  The product family is known collectively as the Ada Xcessories.

12.1  Description and Standardization Efforts

The X-Window System is a network-transparent window system.  It supports one
or more screens containing overlapping windows or subwindows.  X display
servers distribute user input to and accept output requests from various
client programs located either on the same machine or elsewhere in the
network.

    OSF Motif (Open Software Foundation/Motif) is a graphical user
    interface from OSF that provides a Presentation Manager look and
    feel for applications running on any system with X Window version
    11.  It conforms to POSIX, ANSI C and X/Open's XPG3 standards.

Sunrise Software International                         (Updated:  May 1992)

Sunrise Software International's product, ezx, is a rapid application
development tool that automates the creation of graphical user interfaces for
OSF/MOTIF and generates C, UIL, or Ada.  ezx provides WYSIWYG screen layout;
color, font and pixmap editors; presentation tools and dialog management.  A
prototype can be developed in hours and using a script language similar to
Hypertalk, demonstrated to end-users before the first line of code is written.
Then portable C, UIL or Ada can be generated automatically.  Ada bindings are
provided.  The total code required to develop a GUI is reduced by
approximately 75%.   The appearance and behavior of the GUI is defined in an X
resource file which the application loads at run time.  This provides explicit
separation between the GUI and the computational core of the application. Thus
the GUI can be revised without recompiling (and retesting) the application.

ezx provides cost savings throughout the software development cycle, from
requirements analysis through design, code, test and maintenance.
