The Right Way to do this kind of thing in Ada is to create a task that gets the
time, then repeatedly adds 50 ms to it and does a "delay until" on the result.
Out of curiosity, is this for a class at UCF? I got my master's from there, but
they didn't do a lot of Ada at the time. I tried to convince one prof to move
his OS course from concurrent C to Ada (the only platform Concurrent C supported
was an obsolete SunOS box kept for just that purpose), but I don't think I had
much success.
