>Can someone tell me how to call a executable (DOS) from ada?
  16 bit MSDOS from 16 bit MSDOS?  32 bit from 32 bit?  16 bit
or 32 bit DOS from Windows 3.1, or Windows 95, or Windows 2000?
One machine starting a program on a separate machine connected
over a network?  Using which vendor's custom Ada library?
  Since you can't call DOS executables on IBM mainframes, or in
a pocket GSM system, there clearly can't be a standard way to do
it across all vendor's Ada systems on all target systems.  So
you'll have to be more specific about what you want.
