         Or: How to save time by writing an infinite loop

I FTP'ed a copy of the draft MIL-HDBK-1804 file from ajpo.sei.cmu.edu,
carefully following the directions that were posted on INFO-ADA, but
I appear to have received an Ada Follies script instead.

I especially enjoyed the line in section 5.5.5 explaining that exit
statements should be avoided in real-time programs "because they can
greatly increase run time if the code at the exit address has to be
paged into working space."

Who writes this stuff?
