Text_Streams is perhaps too slow?.
It seems that Ada 95 can't do I/O and vendors don't wish to modify
Annex to make even the tinies most essential changes.
Perhaps the worst of Ada.Text_IO is that it truncates on truncates when
hitting a file ending character.
What is needed is Ada bindings to C stream routines, and ideally all
GNU I/O routines provided that the bindings run with the MSVCRT DLL.
Florist POSIX and Mr Obry's Win32 version does not seem useful. GNAT
*Crt* files are somewhat incomplete, and lack a version of the GNU C
Lib getline () routine that can use the MSVCRT fgets () or whatever it
is.
Ada's Annex A I/O offerings do not seem to have acceptable quality for
DragonflyBSD/FreeBSD etceta. (Possibly Mr Krischik could tell us if Ada
has an I/O subsystem that is of acceptable virtue for wiki-Linux...)
