This is not excuse just my understanding of why so much libraries are missing
in Ada. Ada95 is better in this respect than Ada83 but yet many interfaces to
the file system, windowing system, screen control are still missing.

Indeed this should be fixed, now we have a specific Annex for Information
Systems but just can't get the list of files in a directory :)

Anyway, nice to hear that this is worked on.

Pascal.
