Within Ada 95 -> no way. There are three methods of getting out of
that:
(1) Writing your own Index file in the directory in question any
time you create a new file. Your application can then only see
the files it created itself, but that's good enough for a number
of apllication areas.
(2) Use OS-specific binding (Florist, Win32Ada) to write a directory
reading procedure of you own.
(3) If you use GNAT: There is a directory package in the Gnat
specific libraries.
(4) see
http://www.martin.dowie.btinternet.co.uk/Directories/adabrowse/ada-directories.html
for a Windows only backport Ada.Directories.
Within Ada 2005: Ada.Directories is in the standard libraries
