Can anyone tell me how I can open an existing text_io file for append
using VADSworks Ada ('83)?
I have been unable to find documentation for the Form parameter which is
what I would expect to use to specify an open for append. I am aware
that Ada 95 has Append_File as a value for the Mode parameter, but that
is unavailable in Ada 83.
Thanks,
Bob

Robert,
I think I remember reading somewhere that a Posix binding for Ada83
on some compilers had an "Open/Append" capability.
Good luck
Joe

*if* it is implemented! There is no requirement in Ada 83
for providing append functionality.
However, the standard Ada Posix interface does contain this
functionality in a portable manner, so you should find an
Ada 83 technology that provides Ada Posix support.

Actually, not only did I lookup in the documentation, but I also looked
through the source in the library. There was a bug in the code where they
essentially ignored the Append, though it was in the code.
