  Ada is a language used on many different OSes, and sometimes on bare
hardware, so an "exec()" does not always exist.  Therefore you are
unlikely to find it in a general Ada book.  Most compiler vendors,
however, supply such a thing with their compiler if at all possible,
so look in your compiler docs.
