Hi Everyone

I haven't been able to program much over the past month or two, what I have=
 written in Ada are toy sized.

For fun I have been trying to restrict myself to Ada 83 with the use of Pra=
gma Ada_83 .

I am assuming that if Ada 83 sucked so bad then there would have been an Ad=
a 84 revision not Ada 95.

I don't think I need very complex tasking. I don't think I need one task to=
 call another, I just need the main task/thread to communicate with the oth=
er tasks. I am trying not to use the protected object feature from Ada 95, =
I am hoping shared variables will work.

If I have :

var1
var2
var3

task1
task2
task3

and if each tasks only writes to it's variable, task1 -> var1

then can the main thread read/write to var1 thru var3 without issues? Could=
 there be a conflict with the other non-main tasks ? assuming we are not ta=
lking about writing to a file.

Thanks for reading-Patrick
