Hi,
A very naive question...does the Ada standard adequately address
non-8-bit byte computers? The Fortran language standard committee
consistently avoids defining anything that relates to a specific
computer architecture implementation (because what if 6-bit character
systems one day become common again...). At a very high level, how are
machine specifics addressed?
