Hi,
Does anyone know how to pass a procedure as a parameter in the
formal parameter list in Ada ? It can be easily done in Pascal whereas, in C,
a pointer to the function (or "procedure") is passed. If it can be done what
is the syntax ? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

As far as I know, you can't.

Really, you can do most of the things that you might be tempted to
accomplish via passing (pointers to) functions via generic instantiation,
rendezvous or using C or Pascal. I am told by wise people that it is not
a big shortcoming in Ada....
