Ada is a superb programming language, you say,
and there ought to be lots of expertize in this news group.

But every time when a newbie presents "a simple question", nobody is willing 
to (or capable of) answering with a couple briljant Ada source lines spiced 
with variations and finesses ...

Decent answers would encourage the newbie to study Ada more.
