Sorry if I'm a bit rude but you can easly find POSIX signal implementation in ada in this document. Ok there is the Signal reference in index "See interrups". But the first sentence of C.3 is: "This clause specifies the language-defined model for hardware interrupts in addition to mechanisms for handling interrupts." I was not looking for hardware interruption. To me it sounds like int21 (DOS) int33 (mouse) and so on that I was used to program on my 286 12 years ago. But that's not what I was looking for. As ada is often used for embeded, it's not surprising to me to find out such a package, and I move on because that's not what I was looking for. Now there is another point I want to come up: It's formal description about ada, and that's not so easly to understand even If I'm used of this kind of description, an example is always better and then you can go deeper with formal description (and I could understand it's not the purpose of the document) I think the wikibook is the first entry point for new user in ada and package sould be documented with examples as much as possible. Most of them are named but with no description (Notice: I understand it's a hard job to do it and people can run out of time! And it's really a great effort to have such a wikibook!) Sebastien
