I think they will not object me quoting the conversation:
*Q.* Is it correct to conclude that Get_Line is not abortable this way?
*A.* Right, that's a correct understanding.
In general it is unsafe or not possible to interrupt system calls, so
if you need to interrupt I/O, you should probably use something like
Get_Immediate.
---------------------
I think they are absolutely right here. It may work (under SuSe), or not
(under Windows). To me this is a perfect reason to remove ATC stuff from
the language. It causes a sufficient distributed overhead, is unreliable
with OO programming and non-portable in virtually single case where it
could come handy.
