The one implementation I know about (and I haven't looked at Gnat's so I could easily make it two) does indeed use a controlled type. Since it isn't a generic, and is indeed declared at the library level, this is no problem. We have the problem here because its a generic. Remember, declaring objects of type List isn't the issue. The issue is declaring the list type itself. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
