As the more astute of you may have guessed, this was indeed accomplished with
the aid of AWS. So thanks to Pascal and Dmitry for the fine package. I can
report that once I figured out how to download all the parts and compile them
together, using AWS was a breeze. If you want to see an Ada program dynamicly
generating and serving up web pages, download the SETI@Home Service and check it
out.

I'd also like to mention that I found a somewhat novel solution to the problem
(mentioned here earlier this year) of getting some kind of prominent mention of
Ada into the service. Each dynamicly-served web page includes an "Ada Powered"
bug on the bottom, with a link to AdaPower.com. :-)
