Well i would not be that vendor specific i wold reference the "Reference
Manual."
And the definition of string is the same regardless of compiler vendor

packlage Standard is
  ...
  Type String is array(Positive range <>) of Character;
  ...
end Standard;

Also note that if a new type "MY_String is array(Poisitive range <>) of
Character;"
is declared it is a compleatly new type with its own set of operations.
