I understand the difference between 'with' and 'use', that's no problem, but I'm having quite a hard time with 'private' and friends. Is there any tutorial detailing from side-to-side how those work for ada-newbies? The chapter 8 of the ALRM is definately complete but is so full of Ada terms that I'd have to spend 10 days pulling my hair going from side to side of the book to figure it out. Most Ada-newbie tutorial teaches you how to write basic apps skimming visibility (mostly talk about with/use and that's it). Any url, doc, explanation whatever would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying for the past 4 hours to created a Bounded_String and just can't get it. Thanks, EKS - Dave Poirier. note: something nice full of examples using the Ada libraries, with both working and non-working examples for all possible combinations and why they [don't] work...
