I am sure this is a simple thing, but I am doing the following...

I need to create a string of character which will be sent to a scsi
interface.

I need to convert from a character into a integer so that I can make a
checksum.

I am giving a basic code version...not verbatum

msg : string(1..length);

msg(1) := '~';  -- how do I get the asci value for this character?
msg(2)  := 33;
msg(3)   : msg(1)'value + msg(2)'value;

this should more or less add the ascii value of the first character with
the value of the second.

Any help would be appreciated.
