<<Question.  Is there an Ada95 FAQ or the like, full of suitably dire
  warnings?  I have seen very useful and widely used published books of such
  things for C and C++, but have never seen anything like it for Ada95.  If
  there isn't yet one, perhaps we should develop one, for our mutual
  protection.>>


Although there are some general things that could be said, a lot of this
material is compiler dependent, so the place to go for such help and
information is most definitely your compiler vendor. We find that a lot
of our support work for GNAT involves working with our customers to help
them understand precisely the kind of issues that Joe raised in his post.
