I am looking into using Ada.Strings.Unbounded for dynamically creating
temporary storage of character arrays.  When I am finished processing
the string, I want to deallocate it.  I found a "Free" routine in the
spec but this uses a pointer to STRING and not UNBOUNDED_STRING.

>From the Apex ada.strings.unbounded.1.ada =>

 type Unbounded_String is private;
 type String_Access is access all String;
 procedure Free (X : in out String_Access);

Can anyone help me out with the deallocation?  Anyone have a better idea
for dynamically allocating and deallocating memory for a small to medium
size byte array?

Thanx.
