OK....it sounds like Screen Machine is functioning as its own
tasking executive. Do you disable Ada tasking (possible link
time switch) with your Ada 83 compiler? This has often been
done when using an Ada 83 compilier with a RTE that offered more
features and finer control than the simple Ada 83 tasking. When
you do this the Ada 83 compiler has no major advantage over C for
tasking purposes (but no disadvantage either). Your Screen Machine
library hopefully offers routines to Signal Events, Wait for Events,
and guard data with some type of Reserve/Semaphore mechanism.
