In fairness, the original poster did seem to be stipulating that while he
knew & liked Ada, he was constrained by the tools at hand. Sure, the Ada
tasking model is (IMHO) infinitely preferable to attempting to simulate the
same thing in C. But if all you have is C, you can still get all the same
capabilities by using OS operations to roll your own. It hurts a lot - and I
really hate it when that happens - but you can get there. :-)
