	But if you elide the middle part, leaving "... establish a ... link
for..." it makes perfect sense...

	At least to me, this is a request for how to create shortcut icons that
will let him run his programs without loading the IDE and doing a build/run
sequence.

	Of course, how one creates such shortcuts is dependent upon which OS is
being used, possibly which windowing manager for some, whether the shortcut
is supposed to be for all-users or for the single login, and if the program
so linked needs an environment around it (does it open its own windows, or
is it a command line program -- since in Windows my experience is that many
command line programs will open a console window, but that window vanishes
as soon as the program exits; no chance to read any error messages), or
even if it needs to obtain command line arguments which may need to be
provided by the shortcut.



	For making it usable to others, I'd recommend the OP study up on the
standard installer/package managers for the system he's using... 

	In either event, NONE of the questions have anything to do with the use
of Ada, and everything to do with the computer system in general. Something
likely more than an appliance user is willing to undertake.
