I know I can get the address of a subprogram via the ADDRESS attribute in Ada but can not figure a way to use it. I don't have any immediate need for such a procedure but it has my old C-C++ courisity wondering. For instance if I were to have an array of subprogram addresses A(1..2) => (1 => Print1'ADDRESS, 2 => Print2'ADDRESS); how could I implement the calling these functions (note : I know the syntax above is wrong but can't get this simple editor to back up to change it). I have heard from several other Ada programmers that this may not be possible. -- Bill Buckley :-)
