Hello,
    I have a linking/binding question. I'm trying to call an Ada proc.
from a C program. Something like...

extern void __test( void );  // Ada proc test in a file called test.adb
with ada defination in test.ads

int main()
{
    __test();

    return 1;
}

I'm compiling the test.ads and the main.C to object code and then trying
to link by using
gcc -o test.o main.o
The originol proc. is test (w/out the two underscores). I haven't been
able to find any examples of doing this sort of thing, so if you know of
any on the web or otherwise it would help to point me in the right
direction.

thanks
jason
