This is the most stupid limitation I've ever eard !!!!! Who could possibly decide to not use packages in an Ada project ? How can you even design such application ? You have only procedures and functions ? Where do you put the shared types ? Don't tell us that you use only predefined types ? Or maybe your application is just one procedure with everything in it :) Pascal. -- --|------------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member | --| | --| EDF-DER-IPN-SID- T T I | --| Intranet: http://cln46gb | --| Bureau N-023 e-mail: pascal.obry@edf.fr | --| 1 Av G�n�ral de Gaulle voice : +33-1-47.65.50.91 | --| 92141 Clamart CEDEX fax : +33-1-47.65.50.07 | --| FRANCE | --|------------------------------------------------------------ --| --| http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pascal_obry --| --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination"
