Re: File rename in Ada95

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

I would say to load the file in memory if memory is available, just in case 
the program cashes.  Plus it save, speed of accessing the data file. Memory 
it cheap where Time is not.

Or it is better to create a subroutine to copy the old file to a temporary new 
file then use that temporary file in your program. That way, the orginal file 
still exist, just in case your program crashes.

The lack of the delete and rename function was a part of the DOD requirement 
for data safety and security.  And since Ada specification are no long under 
that strict requirement the delete and rename function have been added.
