Sorry about that. I understand the problem of small fonts. My eyes have
been aging faster in recent years.

I just submitted the article. The web master at the site does formatting,
including font sizes. I suggest you email the web master about the font
problem. I suspect he/she (I don't know which) will try to improve the
site as needed.

I do plan to write some more articles. Right now I am laying the ground
work for an article on common patterns for protected objects. I plan to
present the subject as patterns for monitors used for thread communication.
All my examples will be Ada protected objects. I considered providing some
Java examples also, but realized that some of the patterns vary from very
nasty to impossible in Java. I will keep the examples simple by keeping them
entirely in Ada.
