RE: socket, pipe

Yep, that's a problem.  Most of what you're going to find is,
or has been updated to, Ada 95.  Ada 95 is, for the most part,
backwards compatible with Ada 83, and of course Ada 83 will not
recognize the additions to the language.  Hierarchical library
units were added to Ada 95.  Pragma Import replaced Pragma
Interface.

You could take the Win32 bindings, take only the part you need
from it, retrofit it to Ada 83, and then put it in your own small
binding package.

Could it be that these solutions require Ada 95, and I only have Ada
83?  For instance, I don't seem to have a "pragma import" that I can
use for a C call. It's not in documentation and I get these errors
when I try to use it:
*** 50W-8: Pragma IMPORT is unknown to the current implementation
*** 34W-8: Pragma IMPORT ignored

I've also found some sample files that I can't even come close to
getting to compile, I wonder if it's the same problem (old version)? 
For instance, my compiler won't even accept this:
with Ada.Text_IO;
