: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Using GNAT v3.01 for OS/2 and default compilation, but with optimizations
: on and checks suppressed resulted in an executable of 114 kB which ran about
: 3 times as slow as the C version. Now with some tweaking the source has 
: changed a little (about 20 lines were modified) and now the code is
: just 15-20% slower than the C version which is not bad considering the
: extra robustness and safety. 

Be carefull - "with optimizations on and checks suppressed" does not
lend itself to considerations of extra robustness and safety. Unless,
of course, you were refering to extra robustness and safety in C ;)
