How, using Gnat and GtkAda, does one kill a non-Ada program which has been
spawned from within an Ada program running under Windows 98SE ?

Using whatever Windows service you would use to kill any spawned process ?

It is not a good idea to kill a process under Windows. Depending on which
DLLs and drivers are used by the process being killed, that might
compromise the operating system state. However, see:
TerminateProcess
of Win32 API in MSDN.
