Thank you, Mr. Rogers.

In the lowly, quick-and-dirty C world, most data is an integer of one
form or another, anyway, so you shouldn't be worried about that ;-]
...or at least about my "awfulness" as a coder.

I appreciate your code. It's the second attempt at a solution. I was
waiting for someone to define a subtype with a range, and you provided
that variation.

Seeing how many valid - although differentially elegant and/or
efficient - Ada ways of doing this exists was my aim, though I seem not
to have quite elicited enthusiasm.

Thanks again.
