     Robert, you caught me with my pants down!  Although I have a
Janus/Ada 95 compiler, I do almost all my programming with a Janus/Ada 83
compiler or a Meridian Ada 83 compiler, because the 83 compilers produce
native code, while the 95 produces an .EXP file which requires an
interpreter.  That's why I was "thinking in Ada 83."  Fortunately, I'll be
acquiring Gnat in a few days!
     What made matters worse is that my post took a long time to appear in
comp.lang.ada, after David had already received the "correct" advice about
non-limited controlled types.  Sorry!
     Once I acquire the Gnat compiler, I expect to switch from Ada 83 to
Ada 95 for most of my programming.  Then I hope to add more Ada 95
information to my Ada Tutor program.
