Need Ada question answered

[Carolyn Anderson]

I have an Ada question and I don't know anyone around here that can help.
It invloves visibility and qualifying operators with dot notation.

Here is the situation:

I have a data type defined in a package.  I have given the main routine 
visibility of the type with a WITH statement and qualified my variable 
declarations with dot notation.  Now, I want to test two quantities of this 
data type for equality.  How do I give the main routine visibility to the 
equality operator without the use of a USE clause?

Thanks in advance.

with Package;
procedure Main_Routine is
	function "="(L, R : in Package.Data_Type) return Boolean
		renames Package."=";
begin
	null;
end Main_Routine;
