That just means that CAL doesn't need a containers branch. (Unless there is some specialized need or Ada.Containers is not complete.) So change my previous example to "CAL.Statistics.Normal_Distribution" and re-read it. :-) BTW, if Ada0x is going to have a containers package, this is a good reason for avoiding the random inclusion of just anything anyone builds into the library: You want any library branch that makes use of containers in some form to use the standard ones. This is especially true where they are used in parameters or objects that the caller is going to see - internal data structures are of somewhat less concern. But even there, you want them to exhibit whatever properties are in Ada.Containers. I sure hope someone remembered to make the containers persistent through reading/writing to a file and/or converting to a stream. MDC Robert I.
