Tired of reinventing Yet Another "portable" OS interface, this:
Is the package GNAT.OS_Lib intended to be just that?
In particular, will this package be implemented for VMS (once the
GNAT port to VMS is there)? If not, are there other recommended ways
of interfacing to commonly found operating system services.

Absolutely, this is intended as a portable interface as far as possible

One thing to understand about gnat.os_lib is that it was created to
provide a portabe interface to the OS *for the copiler itself*, so
of course it always gets ported.

I am using GNAT.OS_Lib namely as "portable" OS interface in the ASIS
implementation for GNAT. It works in MS DOS and in UNIX.
