What did they say? 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. -- Regards, Dmitry A.
