Take a look at Claw.Sockets (a subset is available in the > Claw Introductory Version, which is a free download from > www.rrsoftware.com). I _think_ (without studying it) I like the Claw licensing approach (more traditional) better than xGPL, but I was under the impression that Claw was only for Microsoft operating systems. I thought this discussion was looking for general Ada interfaces, which would make me say the unseen (by me) Claw approach would at best be a "worked example" rather than an "already done".
