Or AnythingelseSockets. It just seems a shame that most OS's support sockets in ways that could even be characterized as "more standard" than the way they support files, yet Ada doesn't have a "Standard" interface to them. Maybe Adasockets makes a better proposal - send it to the ARG. I'm sure that the message has been received & *something* will end up being the conventional Ada answer to sockets. Probably also we'll get access to directory structures and maybe some other OS services. Whatever we *do* get, I just hope the process is established such that getting *more* stuff added is easily accomplished.
