Sorry about a little more bandwidth, but since I have already taken up so much
I'll take up a little more to explain why.

USF has just recently become involved with Ada, and as a result we have a very
small library of Ada reference materials. Also, as we have a very large
Engineering College, it is sometimes difficult to track down materials that
someone else may have. So, I currently only have one Ada textbook and a 
compiler manual to look at, neither of which said much at all about this topic.
Until the last couple of days, I had not even heard of the LRMs. That is why
I asked the net for help, and because I asked I now have a good list of
reference materials to get hold of. I was ignorant, and now I am a little bit
less so.
Thank-you net for all of your help with this problem!!!
