In this context, there is no such thing as System.Address_To_Access_Conversions. Perhaps I should have advised him to put "Ada 83" in the subject. :-) However, it is a good point that you need to verify that this works on your Ada 83 compiler. It worked with every one I've used, but there are some it doesn't work with. -- T.E.D.
