     In this newsgroup, as in most others, threads tend to take on lives
of their own and can drift very far from the original post if they live
long enough.  The nice thing about this newsgroup is that threads almost
never drift into noise.

     According to my newsreader, you had not yet asked your above
question at the time you submitted this post.  I have no idea when
USENET posts are timestamped, but even if they appear to be in the wrong
order, these two were submitted very close together.  Your implied
complaint that nobody's answering your simple question is somewhat out
of line.

     Finally, in response to that question, the answer is yes, as others
have pointed out.  Use pragma Suppress (Range_Check, ...) (LRM 11.5).
