Hello,
I am just learning Ada and I have a question. I know a little C++ and
in C++ there is a command called mkdir, which will make a director on
the computer that you are using. I was wondering if anyone out there
knows of a command in Ada that does the same thing. I am using the
ObjectAda for Windows V7.1.105 (special edition) compiler. If anyone
can help me please respond to my email address.
Thanks,
Michael Dooley

Ada doesn't include mkdir as the existence of directories is OS and
not language specific. The same, BTW, goes for C or C++.
With most C or C++ compilers there comes a library that implements the
mkdir function. Most standard Ada compilers do not, instead relying on
a standard POSIX binding for OS specific functions (thus making the
program portable over environments) or a OS specific binding.
In this case you need to use the Win32 API binding. Documentation for
it is on-line with OA.
Jerry.
