All,

I am trying to port an old bit of code from the Alsys Compiler to GNAT
3.01p for DOS and have come across a few problems.  Unfortunately, my
Ada knowledge is not a string as I would like or require and so have a
limited knowledge of the available packages.

I am trying to write an Ada procedure that can call DOS commands from
an Ada program that is running on a 386 machine that ONLY runs DOS.
 
I am trying to write an Ada procedure that can rename a file, given
the old filename and new filename as strings.

I am trying to write an Ada procedure that can write to/read from
address locations.

Does anyone know if there are any Ada packages that contain
functionality to perform these tasks?

Thank you for any help that you can give me,
Debs.
