Re: ads file not found

Assuming you really are a beginner and this is not a pre-April fools joke,
the message you are getting implies that you have created a file such as
"filename.adb" which contains the phrase "package body filename is ..... 
end filename;". The Ada compiler then assumes the existence of a
corresponding "filename.ads" which contains the phrase "package filename is
.... end filename:". This is called the filename package specification and
should contain the definitions and object declarations you want to export
to the external world (some other package uses your packages objects). A
real simple example follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
$cat junque.ads
package junque is
    type doit_type is new integer;
    procedure doit(x : in doit_type);
end junque;

$cat junque.adb
package body junque is
    procedure doit(x : in doit_type) is
       -- local stuff
    begin
       -- my wonderful code
    end doit;
end junque;
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Again, assuming this is not a joke, you might consider getting hold of one
of the many fine books on the Ada language and perusing it. Not lecturing,
just suggesting.
