Re: Using sockets on Solaris with Ada

[Marin David Condic <mcondic.auntie.spam@acm.org>]

Some compilers will provide a package for you that will give you everything
you need for sockets. You didn't say which compiler you are using. I recall
the VADS Ada compiler on this platform had a package to do this - but I
don't remember the details. Others probably do as well.

Check the documentation for your specific compiler and see if they mention
sockets. If you don't find anything, try posting here the specific
compiler/version you are using and maybe someone will know what the package
is called & where to find it.
