Last I heard, firemen cut a 50yd or so swath 
of trees to stop the spread of forest fires.

Sure, just tell us what a "control break" is.

Sorry, that's a "fire break".

Ctrl + Break ? :-)

Mike, who really wonders what original poster meant.

Maybe the break/continue with C. In this case:

   while (1) {
      if (xyz) break;
   }

is in Ada:

   loop
        exit when xyz;
   end loop;

For readability (if the loop is big) you can name this loop:

   Search_Name : loop
      ...
      exit Search_Name when xyz;
      ...
   end loop Search_Name;

Pascal.

Oh.

Well in that case, wash your hands and sterilize all
equipment. According to ADA guidlines, this is the
accepted method to control and break infection cycles.

Hi, 

OK, enough silliness :-)

> Hi, can someone give me an example of control breaks in ada?

How about giving a context ? DOS ? Windows ? Linux ?

Are you refering to an out of band signal like CTRL-C ?

Or just scanning the input buffer for special characters ?

I think that this might be a starting point on the idea,

    www.tc.umn.edu/~puk/Adatasking-Pukite.pdf

but the code shows a TTY and a SPIO package. So you
probably need to find a console package for whatever
platform you are running on.
