hi there

when i try to define a function as below my compiler tells me the name is
invalid. when i change the name to "=" it works fine. is this a compiler
specific problem? or ada restriction?

   function  "=="  (Stack1, Stack2 : in Stack) return Boolean;

if this is a compiler problem, i'm using AdaGIDE (GNAT 3.12), is there
anyway i can tell the compiler to accept "==" as a valid name?

(i find the single equal sign really irritating!!!)

thanx
