I was just working on one of our support packages that interfaces to the
host OS to do file I/O and can't find any support in the Ada Annex set for
a portable way of accessing heir. file systems.  I need things like
"MakeDirectory", "RemoveDirectory", etc.  

Am I missing something, or is it the case that there is no Ada Annex
covering this very common need?

If there is no Annex support, is the ARA working on some kind of industry
agreement about such things?
