In addition to Ludovic Brenta's discussion of .ads and .adb, a file 
ending in .ada is a convenient way to store multiple compilation units 
in a single file. Such a file is typically created with the 'cat' 
command. Typically, it is not directly compilable, but it can be 
restored to individual units with the 'gnatchop' utility. For example,
