I have had very little luck getting system specific info, but the compiler is 
Verdix, and the OS is SCO UNIX...

Does anyone know how the Ada RTE usually implemented on non-threaded UNIX 
systems? Is it linked into each executable, or is some sort of shared library 
used?

We are trying to write an Oracle SQL procedure to call services provided by 
our Ada programs. The problem seems to be the Ada RTE code is not being 
correctly linked or referenced. One solution I thought of would be to place 
the code into a shared memory buffer, and provide a C front end to access the 
memory and call the service. Is this a reasonable use of shared memory? Can 
I do this in Ada? Has anyone out there tried this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
