I once had contact with the author of Paradise over a year ago, and he said he would attempt it when GNAT advanced some more, but I've found nothing yet. In addition, would it be possible to define a generic package with a discriminant, and then use that discriminate to instantiate a generic private child package? From what I can tell, the answer should be no, but I'm not sure. The reason I ask is it would make a package abstracting a system-dependant but common function easier and smaller; you instantiate the abtracted generic with a discriminant describing your OS type, and the package then instantiates the low-level binding appropriate to that OS... -- Cerebus "Just a thought."
