That may be so and thanks for pointing out the TYPO (it wasn't in the original
code). I have the SunOS4.x version of GNAT, admittedly 3.10, and that too
produces a program which works as I intend but what I was asking was why
GNAT 3.07 from the EZ2LOAD release doesn't. I am providing support for the
Ada arm of a Real-Time Programming module and the students taking it _are_
familiar with PCs, MSDOS, BORLAND development environments etc. but _aren't_
with UNIX so I would like to enable them to use GNAT 3.07.

Anyone any ideas?
