well . . . , what brought me to this question is that in Gnat for Arm

this works:
     Job_Entry : Job_Entry_P_Type := new Job_Entry_Type;

but this combination does not:

  procedure Free is
	 new Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation(Job_Entry_Type, Job_Entry_P_Type);
  .
  .
  Free (Job_Entry);

it complains about some '__gnat' routine thats missing.

By the way Mr. Rosen, do you still have the pdf for the original HOOD book available, I meant to ask you for some time already. At the moment my diagram drawing is very understandable to me, but otherwise it is peanut butter on hot toast. 
I would think that with a little bit of persuasion Umlet could make HOOD diagrams quite beautifully.

Thanks,
