Does anyone know how to access environment variables from Ada code?  
Specifically, Unix/Linux CGI environment variables from the latest 
version of GNAT.  (Yes, I'm writing CGI in Ada.  Please don't write me 
and remind me that every newline requires a New_Line, as that seems to be 
a popular response to this question locally :-)

On an unrelated note (and this is a classroom question, but it's not 
doing my homework for me), my professor commented that using WITH, though 
common in Ada-83, is frowned upon by the industry in Ada 95.  Any 
specific reason for that?  (I'm assuming name collisions with types that 
look similar to the compiler, but I've only been in this class for about 
a month, so . . .)

Thanks for the assist . . .
