Indeed it needs updating. And I'll remove some of the docs in / bindings/ada/ because everything that is there is also now (and for quite a while) in the main docs where it is updated better. > > All of those except ada.cmake are documentation. > </quote> > > (2) Please try the PLplot build and test system with Ada to make sure > it works for you on Mac OS X.

I do normal PLplot builds fairly often and always before I commit changes. I just now did a sucessful build so everything looks good here.
