: I'm new to Ada programming, having come from a C background.  Is
: there an equivalent in Ada of the "system()" function in C that
: allows you execute an external program?

Take a look at the Posix Ada bindings -- likely provided by
your compiler vendor.  The Posix Ada bindings are a standardized
binding definition to Posix/Unix services.  Personally, I find
the Posix bindings much nicer to use than using pragma Interface
to the C library routines themselves.
