Thanks, Craig, it's nice!  I thought along these lines -- declare an
array in Ada, import it from Fortran, and simply turn off the upper
limit check via pragma/command line switch.  Like:

   ND: Intarray(1..NMAX); -- don't care what NMAX is!
   Pragma Import(Fortran, ND, "nd_");

Now compile it with -gnatp and use whatever index...   And if it's in a
package, may even avoid using the heap...  Didn't check this one, but
seems OK to me...

Cheers,
Alexy
