Re: ObjectAda 7.1 Special Edition - how do I use my own packages?

["Axeplyr" <john.fluetter@aixtra.de>]

Ok, so if I type in a package spec and body that he has in the text, I need
to create a project that uses them,  then compile, build and execute the
entire thing?   I don't need to precompile them?

The book indicates that you must compile the specification file, then the
body file before you can use them.

I'll give it a try and get back - thanks for the help!
