Hi,

I'm not an Ada programmer but need to interface with Ada
routines from C (on a VxWorks platform).

I have searched here, FAQ and the Tartanworks Ada docs
and found a little, but I could use more.

I'd appreciate it, especially sample code.

In my probably naive view i'd make a call to someAdaFn( arg )
and my Ada-programmer peer would define this function in some 
.ada or whatever source file who's
object file would be linked in with the C .o stuff, and of
course have to take special care to be sure data types align,
are in the right order with right number of gaps  and all.

Is that sort of sketchily it?

Thanks...

lee
