Csaba is quite correct. That said the thing to remember is the
examples of either approach are far more likely to be written in
either 'C' or 'C++' so your ability to translate from one or the other
to Ada will be the key to your success. I myself would use the
opendir/readdir combination simply because it is a 'native' approach
as it were...
