Ada Bindings for Sockets

Ada Bindings for Sockets

[Juergen.Hoyng]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a freely available sockets package for Windows95/98/NT AND
(!)  UNIX (SOLARIS 2.5.1)
with the same Ada specification (if possible)?

Are the POSIX Packages (Florist version ?.?) available for gnat-3.11p (the
version I have is florist-3.12w,
is this version compilable with gnat-3.11p ?)

Question: Are now stable Ada bindings for sockets available?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance

CLAW includes an Ada 95 binding to Windows sockets.  It's neither free
nor POSIX, though.

You might try AdaSockets. And soon to be updated version for NT can
be found on my homepage, following the link to the old site.
