But it should NOT be part of the Ada standard. It should be a collection of application interfaces. Since most computers have = browsers, Internet paths may be close to a universal solution.

Is there any work on / interest in a package to make it easy to = synthesize and analyze compound (path) names? This crops up a lot, not only as Windows or Unix filenames, but with things like Tcl widget names. It might usefully be generic, on parameters such as the max. length of a nodename, the max. length of the full pathname, the nodename separator, whether there is a distinguished root nodename and its separator, etc. Should it handle little-endian pathnames, with the root at the right, like Internet domain names? --=20 Bill-Findlay chez blue-yonder.co.uk ("-" =3D> "")
