    Greetings:

    Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I have been watching the news group for
more than a week and have not found the FAQ posted, nor references to it
in the subjects, and I'm in a bit of hurry.

    My problem is simple: I need to get the string expression of integer
and real numbers (the usual Str(number) of other languages), but I'm
unable (that wouldn't be surprising if you did know me :-) ) to get the
equivalent function looking around the Ada reference (the HTML files
which came with GNAT 3.07 for MS-DOS). So, I ask for an answer to any of
the following questions:


   * Is there any place where I can find a reference similar to the HLP
     files included in products like Delphi or Visual Basic (ie, where I
     can look for functions or procedures without having to know the
     packages hierarchy)?
   * Is there such a function like the ones I'm looking for in Ada95?

    Thanks a lot in advance. One more thing: while I will watch the news
group, my news server has been a bit inestable in the last weeks, so I
would appreciate a mail CC. I will post a summary of the answers in the
news group if anybody requests it to me. Thanks again.
