Does ADA95 have anything equivalent to the Unix mmap() function?  I
would like to create a simple cross process memory region to interface a
tk gui (with a c front end) to a much larger ADA process for displaying
screen oriented status and for issuing stringified commands to the ADA
process.  I would like to use a filename as the common point so that
each process can avoid any common knowledge of each other.

And yes... I know I could just pragma import the unix mmap function, but
I'm trying to avoid all imports in my ADA code (Per instruction).

Thanks for any info,
Robert
