Well it is premature to wonder about the next Ada revision, but not premature to wonder about possible additions. In particular, you should read Tuck's suggestion on the first subject. I cannot see socket stuff ever being included in the formal standard, but it is reasonable to want a commonly used package around. The next version of GNAT (3.14) has a full implementation of a sockets interface (GNAT.Sockets) that works on nearly all targets (all byut VMS at the current time). We just added this (it is based on the sockets package used in GLADE). Robert Dewar Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
