Yes, but that's operating system and compiler dependant :-) Well, to some 
extent anyway. Florist will provide interfaces to the POSIX system, but 
if your OS is not POSIX compliant, then Florist is not of much use to 
you. Also, if you have got a SUN/Solaris/GNAT system, Florist is 
apparently really easy to build and use, anything else could cause 
hassle. I, for example, had trouble building it on an Irix system, 
although that may only be as a result of the kernel configuration!
