Bernard: I left a message on your voice mail.

Ada (regardless of OS) has full multitasking capabilities.  I would love
to talk to you about them.

I can also recommend several texts: (in order of my preference)

"System Design with Ada", R.J.A. Buhr, Prentice-Hall
"Understanding Concurrency with Ada", Ken Shumate, McGraw-Hill
"Concurrent programming in Ada", Alan Burns, Cambridge University Press
