First off, this sounds like you designed a system around the "fork" concept, and
are now trying to plug that into Ada. You'll have a lot easier time if you
*design* from Ada too. But as a beginner, it may be a while before you know
enough Ada to do that. In the meantime, it might be worthwhile to take a step
back and tell us what you are trying to accomplish with your "fork".

If you want to dynamicly create tasks in Ada, you should be using task types.
You can create pointers to task type objects, put them in arrays, dynamicly
allocate and deallocate them, etc. You can even create them from within
themselves, if you *truly* need something like "fork". That type of activity can
lead to "fork-bomb" errors though.
