Wrong. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Platform/POSIX says:
"POSIX.5 is an IEEE (IEEE Standard 1003.5b-1996) and ISO (ISO/IEC
14519:2001) standard defining an Ada interface to the POSIX system
calls."
Florist is a Free Software implementation of POSIX.5. The only nit you
might pick is that POSIX.5 is not included by reference in the Ada
Reference Manual. Personally I don't really care. If I need to and if
my target system is POSIX compliant (which it always is in practice), I
can write a standard Ada program using the standard sockets interface
which is part of the standard POSIX.5.
Oh, and I think I did mention GNAT.Sockets. So what are people
complaining about, again?
