I am trying to port the software to a new compiler and do not have the package body for the DOS package. I do, however, have the specification that tells me what the elements of the packages are meant to do and the appropriate DOS function calls. How do I use these procedures/functions from within my Ada program? And do I need any specific files/software to use them? (Please include and example or any references to a website with an example if possible). Thank you for any help that you can give me, Debs.
