platform specific question

[Hans Vlems]

C programs have easy access to commandline arguments and "environment
variables".
Is there a way to interpret the environment variables on a Windows
(2008 Server R2) platform?
What I'm looking for is the usercode that executes the program. Some
programs offer different functionality which is now derived from a
table that is organised by username/usercode.

For command-line arguments, there's package Ada.Command_Line (ARM A.15, 
http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/05rm/html/RM-A-15.html); 
for environment variables, package Ada.Environment_Variables (ARM A.17, 
http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/05rm/html/RM-A-17.html).

Ada.Command_Line has existed since 1995; Ada.Environment_Variables came along in 
2007.

Jeff, thanks for the pointers.
I stopped using ADA in 1984 or so and have only recently returned to
the language.
If only to discover that ADA has changed a lot in the mean time.

Indeed, but just as back in 1984, it is still named Ada, not ADA.
