To get a new thread of control in Ada, you don't "fork" your current
thread (then jump through several more hoops). You use Ada's tasking
features. If you don't know about that, you *really* need to get and
study a good Ada reference text. This is pretty basic to the language.

I often wonder what kind of drugs the folks at AT&T were on when they
thought up "fork" and "exec" as good ways to do multi-tasking. Some of
the stuff in Unix is just brilliant, while some of it is worthy for
inclusion in INTERCAL.
