My problem is that I TRY to instantiate a generic
child unit inside the body of the parent and it
will not compile.  The text Rendezvous with Ada 95
states this is possible on page 337 but I have
been unable to make it work.  (On a slightly
different subject, why in the example on page 337
do they WITH and ELABORATE Generic_Parent.Child in
the last exerpt?)
