Oops, I'm very sorry. I simply do 'list'. That works for
C/C++ and kind
of works for ADA. By that I mean, it takes you to the
'main' function
instead of the function that ADA starts off at. You should
look at what
GVD does, since it figures out what the starting ADA
function is and it
uses annotate=1.

OK, if that's the case, then yes, I agree with you.
