The README file in Florist says: > Beware of the packages POSIX_Sockets, POSIX_Sockets.Internet, > POSIX_Sockets.Local, POSIX_Sockets.ISO, POSIX_XTI, > POSIX_XTI.Internet, POSIX_XTI.ISO, POSIX_XTI.MOSI, > POSIX_Event_Management. These are parts of a POSIX.5c prototype > effort that stalled during the ballot/revision process. We have > since made some improvements, notably in the socket interfaces, but > this is far from a finished work. These package interfaces SHOULD > NOT BE ASSUMED TO CONFORM to the approved POSIX.5c standard, nor are > they fully implemented. That being said, I see no reason why the "proposed" sockets API in Florist should not work. -- Ludovic Brenta.
