Just installed the binary distribution of GNAT for NT/PC. Somewhere under there was a bunch of files that act as a thin binding to the Win32api (Win32Ada, I believe.) I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but my memory was that it had a "short" (8x3) filename. If you do a search on the GNAT directory (and subdirectories) for a file that contains the text "Winsock", I'll bet it shows up. As I recall, this Win32Ada thingie was auto-generated from the Win32api header files by Intermetrics (Or was it Averstar by then?) For a while, you had to get it as a separate bunch of packages which needed to be put in the search path. There was also a rumor that you had to have a license from Microsoft to legally use it - but I had close personal friends (who's names I forget) that used it without asking permission from Bill Gates and it worked just fine. :-) Sooner or later this collection of stuff seemed to have migrated into the GNAT release for Windoze and its just there for the using...Don't know if Bill is aware of it though......... You might try pulling down my example code from my web page and seeing if it compiles. If it does, then you must have the Win32Ada interface lying around there somewhere.
