For example, the "close" function in System.Crtl was added on March 26th and is needed by GNAT.Serial_Communications. If you need this unit, you should either wait for the next release or build a new compiler and runtime libraries. Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam(a)rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/

Am I right spending my time trying to learn this language or is it like latin (good to know some sentences to shine at tea time) ? I don't appreciate tea too much... Steve
From: anon on 10 Aug 2008 01:01 It depends. On the low-end motherboards and stocked computer system the uarts have been removed, or you could say replaced by the usb ports. But most other motherboards and some server still have them. Plus you can always add a uart card to any computer.

Ada is not a special-purpose language that can only do serial port communications. You will benefit from learning Ada for any kind of programming. Multi-tasking, database interfaces, networking, graphical interfaces, embedded progamming, etc; Ada supports them all. -- Ludovic Brenta.

I use serial ports on a daily basis through USB to serial interfaces on my desktop machine and my laptop. Many embedded systems still use RS232 for communication. And the way to configure those serial USB ports is similar to the way to configure vanilla serial ports. However, if you're trying to learn Ada, using the serial port is probably not the best way to dig into the language :) Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam(a)rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
