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. :-) http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/ 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 :-) <\Flame on> Pleeeaaase...! NO Flames! ;-) <\Flame off>
