Martin, I have to admit I am confused here. From sockets.ads:

   procedure Get_Line (Socket : Socket_FD'Class;
                       Str    : in out String;
                       Last   : out Natural);
   --  Get a full line from the socket. CR is ignored and LF is considered
   --  as an end-of-line marker.

   function Get_Line (Socket     : Socket_FD'Class;
                      Max_Length : Positive := 2048)
      return String;
   --  Function form for the former procedure

Both procedural and functional forms are present. What version of
AdaSockets are you referring to?

  Sam
