> on Windows compilers.  Is there any way to see just the specification ?
  Just download and unzip from any one of the versions.  The whole thing
is under 500K, IIRC, so that's not too onerous these days.  The file name
for the socket spec will be either claw-sockets.ads or claw_soc.ads,
depending on compiler and file naming convention.  That version of
Claw doesn't have the Help or HTML docs (about 10MB last I looked)
so I'm afraid you'll have to look at the source code.

  For commercial use.  Unlimited for personal use.

  I certainly would have no problem and, given what he said here just
the other day, I really doubt Randy Brukardt would have any problem
with making it public domain or whatever.

  Yes.
