Hey group,

My good friend Dwight and I are wondering about how to create a daemon 
in Ada. So far we've only been able to locate this example:

http://www.pegasoft.ca/resources/boblap/16.html#16.26

which honestly looks both hideous and unpleasant, to us. Yes, it might 
be because we're just a bunch of beginners, but still we were hoping for 
a "prettier", more Ada like approach. This one seems to rely on a lot of 
pragma import C stuff.

So, is this the only way to create a simple daemon, or can you point us 
in other directions?
