I'd like to create a loadable module in an Ada program. I've searched 
around, but can't
seem to find any examples of this. Say I've got some calculation or a 
driver and I'd like to have
multiple different versions of it with the same interface. I'd like to 
be able to load and replace
these modules at runtime.

In C I'd do this with pic code, dlsym and function pointers. I can't 
seem to find the equivalent
in Ada. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
