A quick follow up to those that want to use "Ada.Directories" and
not "Ada0Y.Directories" (as downloaded).

1. Edit each file and change each reference of "Ada0Y" to "Ada".

2. Copy the files to the predefined GNAT libraries area, probably:
C:\GNAT\lib\gcc-lib\pentium-mingw32msv\2.8.1\adainclude

3. Change the file names to:
a-direct.ads/.adb
a-dirinf.ads/.adb
a-dirite.ads/.adb
a-diwiin.ads/.adb

4. Compile the files using the "-a" option

5. Use "Ada.Directories" in your 3.15p code!

If I ever get a spare hour again, I'll .zip up a version like
this (this is actually how I use it myself and
Ada.Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays [AI-296] actually ;-).

Cheers
