Tasks are usually built on your > OS's native threads. Then again, "forking", "multiple processes" or "tasks" are not a required part of a "client/server" design. In some applications a "single server queue" is adequate. In some operating systems the effect of a "multiple server queue" can be achieved without "forking", "multiple processes" or "tasks". It may not be your chosen design technique, but it certainly makes it "possible to build a client/server" program in Ada.
