It's generally a good idea to make anything that will be constant defined as such in the code, especially in Ada, which puts emphasis on strong typing. It quite possibly could help optimize access to the array in the code. >Just a note about the RM95 -- who wrote this stuff? My head hurts >reading this!!! Ouch! :) You do realize probably half the authors of the RM95 are reading this message? :-) Honestly, I've found the RM95 pretty easy reading compared to some of the other standards I've tried to read. (ISO 7185: Basic Pascal comes to mind as a fairly painful standard.) -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with square brackets.
