Nasser notes that Get_Immediate may not be implemented on all GNAT
platforms, and says
"It _should_ work as the RM says it should :)"
Well, a slight correction, => "as the RM *advises* that it should"
Get_Immediate is implemented in accordance with the RM requirements on
all GNAT platforms, but does not follow the implementation advice on
all platforms, and of course in practice, it is this implementation advice
that makes it useful.
It works correctly on most GNAT platforms now, and should work on nearly
all by the next release. Certainly the new NT release should solve this
problem (the next NT release will use the Cygnus library, which is much
more Unix-like and will solve a lot of existing problems).
