Subject: Problem Compiling with GNAT

First question: How do you post to GNAT Chat? I went to the ACT site, then
to GNAT Chat, and could see all the messages, but didn't see how to post. I
think this post might be more appropriate there.
I have GNAT 3.11P on Windows NT 4.0 and am trying to compile a large amount
of Ada 83 code developed using Rational Apex. We hope to port/re-develop the
code using GNAT. This may not be enough information for anyone to diagnose
the problem but there is too much code to post it all and I just got it and
don't know it very well.
There is a type named Class in many packages and in one procedure the compiler
seems to be confused about which Class is used. Here is abbreviated code for
that procedure:
procedure Display (Next_Timed_Fire_Mission : in Fire_Missions.Class;
Next_Non_Timed_Fire_Mission : in Fire_Missions.Class) is
-- Fire_Missions.Class is a private record type.
use Fire_Missions.Operators;
Not_Used : Boolean;
begin
if Next_Timed_Fire_Mission_Gui.Item_Of
/= Next_Timed_Fire_Mission then
-- ^ Error messages point to this line
Next_Timed_Fire_Mission_Gui.Set (Next_Timed_Fire_Mission);
if Next_Timed_Fire_Mission = Fire_Missions.Null_Value then
Display_This_Gui (This_Gui =>
Next_Timed_Fire_Mission_Gui.Clear_Display,
Continue => Not_Used);
else
Display_Next_Timed_Fire_Mission_Gui;
end if;
end if;
end Display;
This version gives the error messages:
expected type "Location_Data.Class" defined at location_data.ads:100
found type "Firing_Points.Class" defined at firing_points.ads:57
If I comment out the use Fire_Missions.Operators; statement, I get:
operator for private type "Class" defined at fire_missions.ads:166
is not directly visible
use clause would make operation legal
I have also tried: not Fire_Missions."=" (...) without the use clause and I
get the first set of error messages. I'm stumped. Can anyone explain what
is happening?
