I've heard mentions of regexp libraries and such. What I'll definitely need is byte-oriented I/O to files and sockets (i.e., raw binary files), as well as access to directories and things like that. I'll need GUI too, but I haven't decided whether to do that with the Tcl interface, the GTK interface, or with an external program talking via sockets. My question is, where's the goodies? These things have to be out there, but there's no documentation about them in the GNAT distribution that I'm seeing. Am I missing it? Have I failed to download the right programs? Is it deep in the bowels of AdaPower where searches for obvious keywords fail to turn them up? (I get two sockets libraries from a search, one of which is inaccessible, the other of which looks pretty good.) I guess my real question is, "what comes with GNAT, and why can't I find it?" :-) TIA for any clues for the clueless. -- Darren New / Senior MTS & Free Radical / Invisible Worlds Inc.
