As Ada is a computer langauge that is by definition OS independent. The 
following question coup:

How to work with filename differences on different platforms, for instance 
creating a program that has to run on Linux and Windows both

For example a file can be in Windows on: ..\..\name  and on Linux on 
../../name
or in windows on C:\directory\* while in Linux on dev1/directory/*

Is there a general form which can be used or is there a routine which can be 
used to determine which operating the program is on. Maybe there is some 
kind of pragma defined which can be used the same way as in C/C++ compiler 
diectives.
