Note that -- these do NOT constrain the possible stored values of time which may well -- permit a larger range of times (this is explicitly allowed in Ada 95). subtype Year_Number is Integer range 1901 .. 2099; Does it mean that i can write an application dealing with historical dates using the time_type? It seems to me that a date like 05-Jun-1712 would cause constraint_error. Does anyone know the reason for this small range of years in the timetype? /Bj�rn
