Re: newbie: fixed_text_io and decimals

["jdpetrey<NO_SPAM>" <"jdpetrey<NO_SPAM>"@raytheon.com>]

There is no standard fixed type so you need to instantiate a version of 
Fixed_Io for your type.  Try adding:

package Decimal_IO is new Ada.Text_Io.Fixed_Io(Decimal); use Decimal_Io;

after your type definition and then you can Put and Get those type values.
(get rid of the with ada.fixed_text_Io)
