Looking at your description, however, the one think which strikes me is how many instances you have of the number "20", both for your goal and for your "symptoms". Independent of whether you are using Ada or Pascal or Cobol, I bet that if you changed the program from "20" to "17" you would see that your symptoms also changed from "20" to "17". That experiment may be worth investigating. The Ada language goes a long way toward detecting most errors with the compiler, but still there will always be problems such as yours where experimenting with the program and rereading the Ada Reference Manual are required. After all, the behaviour you describe sounds pretty good if your goal were to read 20-column punched cards, and I bet I know how to make it work with the more traditional 80 column cards :-) Larry Kilgallen
