Hi,

I have been working for many years on implementing distributed systems
for various uses.
Every one of them has had specialized data communications schemes worked
out for them. 
I was just reading a paper on distributed systems utilizing Ada 95 and
Annex E, it said that the Ada distributed processing model made creating
distributed systems in Ada "Painless".

I have Ada 95 and would like to evaluate for myself how "painless" it
is. When i get on the net
to search for information, I find references to software, such as
"Glade" from A.C.T, or "Adept" from Texas A & M. However, I can't seem
to find any literature that provides an "Ada distributed Systems for the
cluless". Is all I need to put together a small distributed system test
(the equivalent to "Hello World", but displayed on another node) is
GNAT, or do I need one of these other packages ?

thanks for your help
Joe Simon
