                        Can anyone suggest a way to kick these 
   off as a series of independant executables, not tasks, from 
   within Ada95?  They must be launched as if from the command line, 
   with certain setup options passed as command line parameters.  
   The rest of the simulation environment is now running correctly, 
   but we're stuck on this one.  Thanks.

   I assume that the SGI computer you are using supports some version
of the Unix "system" call, or some equivalent functionality.  (You
didn't specify which SGI model or OS you are using.)  Is there some
reason that just making such a call with the appropriate string won't
work?
