    Thomas -

       The good people at Alsys have provided a parameter for the
       formal argument, FORM, in the Text_IO.OPEN procedure that
       enables opening a file in APPEND mode.

       My VADS compiler manual does not indicate how to do this, but
       I may have an out-of-date VADS manual.

       In Ada 83/87 this is implementation-dependent. Thank you to
       designers of the new Ada standard for including an append
       capability in Ada.
