I believe the original poster is using Ada83 - although he has not been
explicit about this. In which case, there may be vendor supplied
routines, but not standard ones to be looked up in the RM.
If "cmcrae" were to provide the language version (83/95), the compiler
and OS, we might be able to provide some help. Without that info, the
best I can suggest is to a) check with the Public Ada Library and maybe
http://www.adahome.com/ for sources of preexisting code or b) look up an
algorithm and implement one from scratch. Its not that big a job. (I
used to have a Sqrt which I think used Newton-Raphson - I just don't
remember where I put it! ;-)
