It allows several items to be stored and retrieved in a queue-like way. There are various other commonly-used data structures, e.g. stacks. To find out more about these structures, you need to either ask an instructor (or other knowledgeable person), or look in a library or bookshop for an Ada textbook. If you have genuinely exhausted all these avenues, or if you have a specific tricky question, then ask again in comp.lang.ada, and we will do our best :-) Happy hunting! ------------------------------------------- Nick Roberts -------------------------------------------
