However, tasking is supported on the PowerPC version." This is incorrect. The technical work on the tasking for the PowerPC version is being done by Cyrille Comar (Ada Core Technologies) and Jim Hopper (McGee consulting) with help from other folks including the people at Tenon, who have successfully ported a thread package which is the first step. However, the actual port of tasking is definitely NOT done yet, so Art's use of the present tense is premature. (Ed Schonberg likes to call this (mis)use of the present tense, the "Computer Science Present Tense", in honor of its wide use in the computer programming field :-)
