Hi Shark8

Okay now I am seriously mixed up.

While I haven't read them all, I now own 18 Ada books and have spent nearly=
 everyday studying for 5 months and now have hit a very hard wall.

Ada is an embedded language right? I have been working on a desktop project=
 for my Son in Ada that would have been easier in Python. I did this becaus=
e I wanted to do a nice job with it and I wanted to prepare myself for a fo=
r-profit-embedded project to be completed later on.

Now it seems I am supposed to roll my own runtime or other low level soluti=
on, now that I want to do something embedded I am confronted by an unexpect=
ed problem.

I am feeling very discouraged after investing so much time(and that others =
invested their time in me)

Is full, multi-tasking, Ada only used for embedded design by companies like=
 Boeing that can port Ada to new devices all by themselves? What do small t=
ime people like me do?

I am seriously confused now and feel trapped. I do not have the skills to w=
rite my own runtime or even part of a runtime. -Patrick
