To do this portable you need to use a Posix binding.

For Solaris there probably is a Florist version for GNAT, 
for Win95/NT there is a partial binding available (see my 
homepage: http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk)

Otherwise write a single package "directories" which
contains the functionality you need. This package should
have one spec (.ads) file and two implementations,
one for Win95 (using the MS C Runtime Library) and one
for Solaris (using libc).

Success,
Jerry.
