Message-ID: <5r37k9$h4p$1@kelp.mbay.net> (raw)


	I have a computational algorithm that I've implemented that has
	the (admitedly unusual) property that it is perfectly valid for either
	arrays of Integers or arrays of Floats.    As far as I can see I
	CANNOT make a generic version of the package that will work for
	both, e.g.:

	Generic
                Type Element is <something meaning INTEGER or FLOAT subtypes>
                Type DataArray  is Array(Natural  Range<>) of Element;

	.....


	Is there a way to do this ?   or do I have to actually make two different copies
	(which differ only in the definition of ELEMENT).
