Hey,

   What is the best / proper way to spawn a new task so that a
function call can
continue in the background.. like so:

procedure Test is
  begin

          -- Call a callback function that may take a long time
          FuncPtr.all


          -- Continue other processing here

  end Test;


Is there any way to encapsulate the callback function call in another
task WITHOUT making
the function -- the function called by funcptr.all -- a new task?

Thanks
