Very nice. However it is clearly not a part of the language standard, so if you need portability for some reason, this might be a problem. It seems like something that ought to be included in a future version of Ada since for a large number of plain vanilla apps, unbounded strings are far more convenient where speed is not an issue. (For example, something that implements a command line interpreter as its only real use of strings) MDC -- Marin David Condic Real Time & Embedded Systems, Propulsion Systems Analysis United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, Large Military Engines M/S 731-95, P.O.B. 109600, West Palm Beach, FL, 33410-9600 ***To reply, remove "bogon" from the domain name.*** Visit my web page at: http://www.mcondic.com/
