I don't read this group often.  I noticed your message.

Texttools was taken over by Nicholas Boulenguez.  In his latest version, he made major changes to the structure.  This included renaming the functions, converting everything to Ada 2005 containers and unbounded strings.

The To255 function was in the older version of Texttools.  It converts a fixed string to an 255 character bounded string.  Nicholas' changes replaced bounded strings with unbounded strings.

If you need To255, you should try version 2.0.7, which is on the Pegasoft web site.

If you have specific questions about Texttools, you should email Nicholas, or contact me through the Pegasoft website and I will forward your questions to him.
