You need to declare Vector before you use it.  You could wrap it all in
a package, but this will only get it to compile.  To make something
useful, you need to get some data into Data (BTW it is best to avoid
such generic names for types and variables to avoid confusion).

>From the look of your program, I guess you aren't too familiar with
text_io.  Have a look at the examples on www.adapower.com and if you are
still baffled, go and ask your lecturer for help.  They probably already
know you've posted here since at least one of the staff from Brighton is
a regular poster here.

Try and be more specific with your problem descriptions.  Most of the
people in this NG use Ada for their jobs and only read the NG while at
work, so make it easy for us to help you.
