Re: What exactly is the licensing situation with GNAT?

["Randy Brukardt" <randy@rrsoftware.com>]

I've been using Claw.Sockets for so long that I don't know what the 
underlying implementation is. So I don't know what "select" is used for or 
whether it's implemented in NC_Sockets. Claw.Sockets has a server type 
that's used for implemented servers (like web and mail servers).

As to the platforms, Linux 64-bit (tested under GNAT) and Windows 32-bit 
(tested under GNAT and Janus/Ada) are what I have in hand. I suspect that 
Linux 32-bit would be easy to create based on the 64-bit version, but I've 
had no need to do so.

I'll be posting a NC_Sockets package fairly soon, once I get the last few 
spec updates finished and correct the test programs. (And I have to figure 
out error handling in the Linux version, I don't think it works right, and 
that's a big deal to my servers of course.) My best guess is that I'll get 
this done in January or so (have some ARG and ACATS tasks to do first).

                              Randy.
