Subject: Array range type for Verdix Ada83 compiler question.

Hi,

  I have a bit a code:

   type ta is array (0 .. 8) of boolean;
   type Request_Numbers_Array is array (-100 .. 100) of integer;

  The first line compiles just fine.  
The second line says: "index range is ambiguous" and then gives me a 
list of possible types (i.e. Short, Long, Integer . . .)

 I fixed the problem in this way:
type Request_Numbers_Array is array (Integer range -100 .. 100) of
integer;

  My question is: Why do I need to do this?

  I would think it could pick a type most suitable for the range.

  Thanks in advance,

  Michael
