  If you're using Windows you could use Claw-style sockets (either the
version that comes with the $0 Claw, or the version that doesn't need Claw
at all).  It uses a hidden controlled type to automagically do WSAStartup
and WSACleanup.

  Claw lets you read/write with Strings, or Ada.Streams style, or by
instantiating a generic with a record (like Sequential_IO), or mixtures.
