This is, of course, operating system dependent. To spawn a new process
will vary somewhat from one OS to another. I believe the GNAT compiler
has some interfaces which make this somewhat platform independent. On my
Ada page at http://www.mcondic.com/ there is an example piece of code
which will do this on WinNT. Also some examples of TCP/IP communication
between processes which may be of use to you.
