Subject: atip_1553 package - questions
Message-ID: <1993Apr12.205744.29889@intrepid.com>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

A while back, I fetched the 1553 package at ajpo.sei.cmu in the file:

    atip1553.tar.Z

and have just gotten around to trying to use the code.  There are a couple
of questions that I have so far, and I'm wondering if someone
may have already found the answers:

1) The files are numbered f00.ada through f74.ada, except f13.ada is
left out.  Is this inteneded, along the lines of leaving out the
13th story in a building?

2) There are references to a package called CONDITION_HANDLING, but
the package is not present in the source directory:

f04.ada:with CONDITION_HANDLING;
f04.ada:    STATUS       :  CONDITION_HANDLING.COND_VALUE_TYPE; 
f05.ada:with CONDITION_HANDLING;
f05.ada:    Status      : CONDITION_HANDLING.COND_VALUE_TYPE;                  
               --| Return code from system call
f05.ada:    if not CONDITION_HANDLING.Success(Status) then
f05.ada:          if not CONDITION_HANDLING.Success(Status) then
f05.ada:          if not CONDITION_HANDLING.Success(Status) then
f05.ada:            if not CONDITION_HANDLING.Success(IO_Stat.Status) then
f05.ada:              if not CONDITION_HANDLING.Success(Status) then
f20.ada:with CONDITION_HANDLING;
f20.ada:  package CHND renames CONDITION_HANDLING;
f30.ada:with CONDITION_HANDLING; use CONDITION_HANDLING;
f30.ada:    Status   : CONDITION_HANDLING.COND_VALUE_TYPE;

It seems that COND_VALUE_TYPE can be defined as an integer, but I'm
just wondering what the intent is behind leaving CONDITION_HANDLING
out of the source release?  There is no memntion of this in the read_me file.

3) Does anyone have an e-mail address on the author(s) of this package?
(saveral of the headers mention Bob Johnson, department : NATC,
Manned Flight Simulator, SETD, CTSD, SY32)

thanks for any pointers/help,

- Gary
