I hate to sound like a broken record, but that's a solution, not a problem. One would need to explain what problem(s) can't be reasonably solved with the existing features of Ada that could be solved with a co-routine. (And a purely performance argument is by far the weakest IMHO; very few programs are really performance bound, and most of those would value more tasking.) Randy.
