Both GWindows and CLAW offer much more functionality than just an API layer. The other problem is that GWindows allows for instant extension using ActiveX controls and COM bindings generated by GNATCOM. Also, you may want to include the Windows API bindings that come with GNAT and also GNATWin (the original GNATWin, ie the one I created not the gnatwin package for GNAT the compiler) Windows thin API bindings from the GNATCOM page. (BTW if we do a pragma import count it beats GWindows and CLAW, not that I recommend it for anything but cut and paste with either framework available :-) David Botton > I also suggest a column "coverage", a quantifiable measure of which is > the number of distinct "pragma Import"ed functions.
