Re: Porting ADA source

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

Part of the problem seems to be that the OP is working with existing 
code that nobody apparently thought needed to be portable. Trying to 
dramatically restructure the code at this stage starts becoming 
problematic. Portability can be achieved, but only if you work really 
hard at it from the start. Of course there might be easier fixes to the 
problem now if Ada had some kind of conditional compilation directive - 
but since those are viewed as "Morally Evil" I guess people stuck with 
practical problems should just go use a different language. :-)
