  AmigaOS does not care about file extensions (which IMHO are for user,
not for OS), so it ought become hello, I suppose. Anyway --- sending
binaries to stdout would be, yeah, strange...

  Exactly --- I try more recent versions (only sources --- hope I be
able to compile this...) and will see if this helps.

  I like Linux pretty much, much more than W9x, not only for developing,
but for every day use, since it is similar to AmigaOS and is pretty =
stable,
but really is developing in Ada more friendly than e.g ObjectAda with
SoftStudio?

  I guess it's more the fault of lack of the memory protection in =
AmigaOS,
than something wrong with processes themselves, but I agree 8)
