With some bugs... The version of Dec Ada for Ultrix that I used ate
up 4k of RAM for every open and close of a disk file. At one point we
lost 1.25 MB a day. This problem was known within DEC but not
advertised or published to my knowledge. Eventually, we were
forwarded the instructions on how to fix the ported LOW_LEVEL_IO.ada
module.
