Hi! Greetings to All! :-)
I don't know anything regarding Claw.Sockets or Gnat.sockets, but I
love a lot AdaSockets that has been helping me enough ! ^_^!!!
AdaSockets possesses very good characteristics same, as 'Orientation
to Object' (if you want, you for instance can extend the socket - that
of the type tagged -), and the use of Stream Types in a simple,
efficient and powerful way directly through the socket. AdaSockets does
allow to Ada programmer to use sockets to the style BSD in platform
Win32, what is already for me a good miracle. Practically you will
have the same source code - relative of course to the sockets: -) - for
all the platforms win32 and Unix in general, including Linux. you can
use in a simple and transparent way, characteristics of the Ada language
such as Tasking and Objects Protected with AdaSockets without larger
concerns. another very good characteristic is the speed with that the
authors implement corrections and new resources, many of the which are
suggested by your users through the mailing list of the project. The
license of the AdaSockets is GPL lightly modified, or be you can also
use AdaSockets in Software proprietary without contaminating your code.
It's good! It's is free! and you don't need to pay to be heard and nor
you needs to pay to be taken in consideration in the mailing list of the
main project.
.
for those that use win32 a link it especially exists with a complete and
updated subset ready for win32 (there is not need of tools Unix
for Win32 ). the link is:
http://vagul.tripod.com -- search for 'AdaSockets' ;-)
the homepage of main project is:
http://www.rfc1149.net/devel/adasockets.html.en -- English
http://www.rfc1149.net/devel/adasockets.html.fr -- Francais or
http://www.rfc1149.net/devel/adasockets
for those that don't know what is a net socket or they would like to
learn, I found a very good link called "Beej's Guide to Network
Programming" that in spite of using C (as example, to use Task in the
fork place:-) it is an excellent starting point. :-)

Well...:-),install adasockets, run the examples and mainly use the
Christis' Force! Read the sources!^_^!!!!
Affectionate []'s of seven turns, c.h.Daniel Norte de Moraes.^_^!
p.s.: :-) thank you for understanding my bad English :-)
