     I tend to agree.  I tried the code (adding the missing word TYPE, of
course) on a once-validated Ada 83 compiler (Open Ada) and on GNAT (ver. 3.05,
admittedly not the latest version), and both compilers gave error messages.
     Now I admit that trying code on a compiler, even a validated compiler, is
NOT the right way to see if something is legal; the RIGHT way is to study the
LRM.  But I thought these data would be interesting, and they tend to confirm
what Keith said.
