That's excellent ... as to no reason to use VB, that's a different
matter.  But I'm delighted to hear that Ada is bound to MSXML and
that someone is following the Microsoft technologies.

Now, is there an Ada compiler that runs under Microsoft UNIX
(Interix)?

You will of course be happy to know that Ada has been bound to the MSXML
control for around a year now and works well, so much so that there would be
no reason to use VB :-)

You may find of interest one of the two tutorials I am slated to give at
SigAda 2000. It  is on creating GUIs for Win32 using XML and
HTML/DHTML/XHTML with addition of some other new techniques and tools. (The
other is an intensive one day session on creating and using COM/DCOM objects
with GNATCOM and Ada).

Also, if you are interested in SOAP, see Michael Erdmann's Ada
implementation at http://www.snafu.de/~boavista/soap.html
