Matthew asked:

"I'm just becoming familiar with Ada/GNAT, and am trying to determine
how feasible it would be as an implementation language for client/server
database type applications. . .

Is there a standard TCP/IP implementation for Ada and the GNU Ada compiler?
You would expect so, but I haven't heard of one.  (The PAL archives one
for VAX/Verdix, but...)"

Why not use the facilities of the distribution annex for this purpose,
instead of working at such a low level?
