Ada Bindings for Sockets

[Juergen.Hoyng@ri.dasa.de]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a freely available sockets package for Windows95/98/NT AND
(!)  UNIX (SOLARIS 2.5.1)
with the same Ada specification (if possible)?

Are the POSIX Packages (Florist version ?.?) available for gnat-3.11p (the
version I have is florist-3.12w,
is this version compilable with gnat-3.11p ?)

Question: Are now stable Ada bindings for sockets available?


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance
