Clearly, one could do that. You could build your whole protocol as if it
were trading lines of text.
The bad news is that for the particular app I'm looking at, I've got an
already defined set of messages. What I am hoping to do is find a nice,
tidy way of using Ada95 to get at that message catalog and build support
tools that connect to the existing system. If the answer is really good,
I might even be able to sell the notion of changing the existing system
and eliminate some really butt-ugly code.
