This example describes a way to develop client / server
applications. To provide advanced features, in this example, we had a
mechanism of notification.
There are three main ada units in this bank example. The "bank" that
manages the client accounts, a "manager" which loads the accounts from
a small database and provides some utilities and clients which modify
their accounts and transfer money from their account to the account of
someone else. This is always the same executable for the different
clients, but of course, they don't get the same partition id in order
to differentiate them.
To proove this, the bank server notifies a customer when its account
has been granted with money by another customer.

% gnatdist simcity
Open (at least) 3 sessions.
[On session 1, starts the scenario, load "example" database and print
the account status]
% bank_server
Menu :
Create
Load
Print
Quit
Save
Request : l

Filename : example
Menu :

Customer : 25
Customer : middle
Password : yyyy
Customer : 250
Customer : rich
Password : zzzz
Customer : 2500
Menu :

[On session 2, start the poor client]
% bank_client
Customer : poor
