It's a possibility, specially if you use wide characters for 16-bit addressing because 8-bit addressing is clearly too short. But anyway I don't like it because eventually you would have to do memory management and that is precisely one of the things that I want Ada_Arrays to encapsulate, namely in the magical Ada_Arrays.Unbounded.Unbounded_String (Unbounded_Array?) type. (I'm using Google to read/write CLA, but it's too slow. comp.lang.ada@ada-france.org does not seem to be working for me. Anyone can recommend a fix or an alternate gateway? Thanks.)
