The Ada.Interfaces package that comes with ObjectAda 7.1.1 for windows/Intel contains *no* floating-point types whatsoever. (It is also quite different that the verion they printed out in Annex M of their docs. In particular the 16 and 8 bit integers don't appear to exist in the actual package spec.) So are you saying I need to report this as a bug? It would be my 3rd report in a month (1st this month, though).
