I agree that for unbounded sequences of characters,
Ada.Strings.Unbounded would probably be better: It
was designed specificly for that type of sequence.
However, the original Booch string components are
not obsolete. They are generic and can be instantiated
to provide unbounded sequences of nonlimmited elements,
not just sequences of characters!
(The Ada95 Booch Components do not provide any "string"
components, thats how I know that original poster must
be refering to The Original Booch Components.)
