But helping Ada programmers learn C is not the purpose of this newsgroup,
just as helping Ada programmers learn how to change the oil in their
automobile engine is not the purpose.  There will necessarily be some
comparisons with other languages here, but C tutorial efforts belong
in comp.lang.c{++}.*.  Certainly it is better that the folks over there
get experience with questions of how to create true enumerated types :-)
