--    Program : Worms.ada
--    Author:   Charles Kann, The George Washington University
--    Purpose : This program is based on the UNIX game worms.  It is
--      implemented to show how tasks can be used in ADA.  It
--      is interesting since the Worms program could really be
--      implemented as a sequential program.  This implementation
--      shows how tasks can be used to simplify the design of a
--      sequential program.  By defining the Worms as individual
--      tasks, the programmer only has to worry about defining the
--      behavior of a single Worm, and then creating multiple
--      instantiations of that Worm.
--
--    To use with GWUMON : To use this program with GWUMON, from the command
--              line type:
--                       adacomp -a -b -mworms worms.ada
--                       gwumon -mworms
--
--    On the initial setup screen, choose 'Y' to the questions if tasks are
--      used.  Also, set the initial speed to 10, the fastest speed
--      (the monitor will still run slow.  To get a better feel for
--      how the worms run, try running it once not through the
--      monitor).  The first four windows which will show up will be
--      the main procedure WORMS, the task SCREEN, and two instances
--      of the WORM task.  Notice how the WORM task interacts with
--      SCREEN task.
