thanks for the pointers! I did not have some of these before.

Now, I was reading this below, from the above paper:

"1) Separate Compilation and Library Management   

   Ada: An Ada compiler is required to enforce consistency and
strong type checking across separate compilation.  The concept of
                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
a program library is built into the language, based on separately
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
compilable modules called "library units" whose names are part of 
a hierarchical name space."

GNAT, probably the most popular Ada95 compiler, does NOT use the
program library model, but uses the code-source model, i.e. the 
traditional model.

So, what going on here? who is wrong, and who is right? 

thanks,
