A POSIX implementation for Windows based system. This is just a partial implementation since Windows is really far to be POSIX compliant :) Thanks a lot to Jean-Pierre.Rosen ;) for his contributions. Jean-Pierre as continued the foolish project to have a POSIX interface on native (read non Cygwin based) Windows :) and we can tell you that it is quite difficult! Win32 API is just plain amazing sometimes :) Anyway you'll find v1.12b on my homepage. A direct access to the Win32POSIX page is: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/archive/w32posix.html Here are the main changes: << changes since 1.11b ------------------- POSIX API should be thread safe. In many places this was not true before. POSIX.Process_Primitives It is possible to launch .com and .exe (not only .exe as before). POSIX.Calendar Handle milliseconds. POSIX.Files Is_Symbolic_Link added. Is_Socket added. Both always return False on Win32. For_Every_Directory_Entry, check for pathname with directory separator. POSIX.File_Status Get_File_Status new version should be better than before. Do not handle devices as this seems to be impossible on Win32. POSIX.Process_Environment Environment_Value_Of correctly return Undefined if variable not found. Reformat the code. >> Enjoy, Pascal. -- --|------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member --| 45, rue Gabriel Peri - 78114 Magny Les Hameaux FRANCE --|------------------------------------------------------ --| http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry --| --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination"
