Re: Newbie wanna Ada

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

Here's another example of things that migh make good additions in some form
to an Ada standard library. The GUI part is a bit ambitious because of the
multiple possibilities on different platforms, but why not a standard Ada
sockets library component? It should be possible to come up with a package
interface that is implementable on just about anything that does TCP/IP,
right? Windows and Unix would probably cover the bulk of the demands.
