Not sure about that one. The only Ada compiler on DOS that
I ever saw was a [very] old Meridian version. Since it was limited
[all the usual disclaimers here] to just a few tasks if I remember
correctly, and that DOS probably wasn't *the* problem, well...
It looks like it wasn't the question of what does OS support - if
you can do 15 tasks you can as wel do 255 at least :)
