Again, my interpretation of the first comment is that it was impossible
for Boeing to use Ada83 tasking in hard real-time embedded systems...
in 1983. I agree with that comment, because I tried to do it myself in
1983. I know for a fact that Boeing uses Ada83 tasking for hard real-time
embedded systems in 1996, however.
