I very new to programming in Ada and I am not sure about the best way
to write this program. I was thinking that character-by-character
would be easier simply because I don't necessarily know the length of
the strings I want to send. If you could give some advice about
sending strings I am should that would be more efficient. Also, if you
could point me to some good websites or books I would appreciate it
greatly.
