Hi

I am new in ADA programming and I use GNAT Ada version 3.04a for Windows
NT.  I have got couple of questions about "tasking" in ADA.

1. How can I implement a task running at regular intervals, for example
every 50ms +/- 5ms. The task activation must be guaranteed too.

2. What is overhead of running an ADA task, memory usage, task creation
time, and task-switching overhead? Is there any practical limit for maximum
number of simultaneously running tasks?
