I am a new Ada (notice the spelling.  you guys seem to be pretty touchy
about it) and am working through a book.  The author makes many references
to enumeration types and numeric types without distinguishing the two.  Any
help on what an enumeration type is as apposed to a numeric type would be
appreciated.
