Re: Ada.Directories problems, a summary

Ivan Levashew a écrit :
I don't care about UNIX convention. There are abstraction like
"sequence of octets", "ability to establish connection with",
etc., and I'd like to deal with these abstractions and not with
what particular cases OS designers gave me instead.

Believing that a file is a "sequence of octets" is a serious DOS/Unix bias. In serious operating systems (i.e. VMS), a file is a higher level, structured entity.
