Using florist directly would not solve the problem: If you have a multitasking Ada application you need to factor out the spawning of new child processes into a different process (if you spawn child processes at arbitrary times). The result is that you need some RPC mechanism between the actual client code and the process which does the spawning. The spawn manager does all that by using Anet's UNIX domain sockets + in-memory record marshaling/unmarshaling for simple and fast RPC. Internally, GNAT.Expect is used to spawn the childs. Of course you could also use florist for this task but I think it is better to use a high level API if possible. - reto Hi Thomas,

I'm only aware of him being active at comp.lang.ada, so I guess our best bet is to spam him there. hehe There's a few Dmitry Kazakov's at g+, but I'm not sure if any of them are actually him. I also do better with examples. :D

Hes definitively one of the giants in the Ada community along with Pascal and a few others. All the stuff of his I have figured out how to use I am using, and I have a job for the fuzzy logic where I am hoping to predict (thus save ) energy usage according to temperature and weather predictions. However progress with this ambition is eluding me due to my small brain :) . Let me know if you do anything with the fuzzy logic that you want to share because I do better with examples.

I haven't submitted to slackbuilds.org yet, as it replaces the default compiler of Slackware 13.37, not sure it will be accepted. I try to follow the guideline of SlackBuild for submission so it is on my plan. I will open a git repository as you suggested. Will post on c.l.a once done. Thanks for your kind word.

(I might some day change my web hosting from kapsi.fi to elsewhere and iki.fi (redirection) url will be more or less automatically updated to point to the new server.) Hi,
