Hi again Simon,

Having thought it through again for the umpteenth time I realise now that my problem is to do with integer overflow i.e. integers greater than 2^31.  I am using 32-bit computer architecture.

I do apologise if it seems I have a churlish disregard for the valuabloe help you gave me in the past but in truth it was beyond my ambitions to apply it.  My interest in Ada is solely in producing a single strong cipher called ASLEC that is vector based. I have done that now.  I do admire the language greatly but as an end in itself but to study it would be an extra string to my bow that I might never use.

May I thank you once more for your responsible attitude to my posted question.
