There is a WEALTH of Ada-related documents and other stuff on that machine, and they don't discourage anonymous ftp to it. I suggest you go in at night when the network is quiet.

A "with" _must_ come _before_ the "procedure" line of the client. A "use" can appear anywhere, in case you wish to control the direct visibility of the stuff in the package. Beginners often put the "use" together with the "with", so the two must precede the first line of the client. I presume you know that if anything in the tasks is to be visible outside the package (for example, if anything in your client wants to call an entry in one of the tasks), the task specs had better appear in the package spec. Otherwise - if the task specs are in the package body - the tasks will chug away but their entries can't be called from outside.
