Thanks for all the help.

I figured I had to use "new" eventually.  In C++, allocating memory
doesn't
seem to bother me - mainly because I'm confident with the language and
feel like I can control the program flow better.  However, in Ada,
that whole
"Unchecked_Deallocation" bothers me... although I seem to have used it
effectively.
The "Unchecked" part just makes it seem like Ada provides a better
way...
Are there any version of GNAT that support garbage collection?  I'm
working
with 10-15 year old government system.  Perhaps I can convince them to
upgrade
to an Ada compiler with a garbage collector
