For example, why is it used here: Father : Person_Access := new Person'(Father_First_Name, Father_Last_Name); but not here: type Float_Array is array(Integer range <>) of Float; type Float_Array_Access is access Float_Array; V : Float_Array_Access := new Float_Array(1 .. 3); I'm sure there is a page about this somewhere, but I can't find it. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -Dave
