It made me very happy, too! Now we have it for ALL scalar types (not just the discrete types) 8-) But, like I said, I figured, (perhaps incorrectly) that the inquirer was either doing a simple class exercise, or had recently discovered that in Ada83 the 'Image attribute only worked on discrete types. So, the Ada95 solution probably wouldn't help much (hmm, are we talking Ada83 or Ada95 when someone poses a question... haven't I seen that thread before? ;-) Now if only the 'Image attribute let me give it all the parameters that were in the Float_Io.Put procedure... then I'd really be happy. ;-) -- Gene Ouye
