I'm afraid you are overestimating (just a bitlet) my abilities
of auto-cloning. It is not just like launching N Ada tasks,
and maybe the synchronizing of all these copies would give a terrible
confusion. Even though, the port would be soon obsolete because
of the long-awaited, marvelous, genial MacOS X (client).

Thank you. You are unfair with Nick, and my knowledge of MacOS'
guts is quite poor. Just fighting with this cryptic file typing
is enough...
There are other delirious or pharaonic projects that are worth
the effort about Ada:
- make a true reference, pure Ada, BLAS and LAPACK set of routines
using 'range attributes, generics for floating point to halve
the number of routines, and exceptions for problematic cases instead
of these bold error codes.
- make an Ada version of GNU multiprecision (GMP), with "+", "*",...
operators (over accessed things) and a rejoycing use of generics
e.g. for multiprecision rationals, just pass the multi-integers
through a generic package to obtain the field of fractions -
see mathpaqs.zip from the page below.
- complete the gaming library for GNAT/DOS (sound, network
and some advanced 3D rendering/interaction remain to do)
- make a support for streams in Unzip-Ada, and a Zip-Ada...
- port GNAT to Cray, NEC SX, ... (if not already done...)
Now, let's work 8-)
