I was hoping to not have to re-invent the wheel, but it seems that existing Ada code is not quite as easy to find as I had been told. Management allocated 16 hours to add this piece of code into the project, including test and documentation. So I had hoped to find some existing code examples. I'm sure a seasoned Ada programmer could do this more easily. My experience is with C and some of the "visual" languages, mostly on Windows platforms. This VME machine is all new to me.
