[comp.lang.ada] Downloading Software Patches

byrne@arecibo.aero.org (08/18/90)

   We are involved in several projects that require the ability to download
patches to fix bugs or add features.  The target is usually an embedded
computer in an orbiting satellite.  Does anyone know of an elegant and/or safe
way to do this in Ada?  Is this being addressed in the Ada9X revision?  We
would rather not have to use the machine-code level as the baseline.
