The Onions networks streams library for Ada95 is designed to do that,
though it will probably need some work to port it to WinNT.  In any case,
it provides a better portability abstraction.  It needs a new maintainer.

The source code is released under the same modified GPL as GNAT/GLADE,
mostly because it reuses some of the Garlic library.
