yeh... :-) :-) :-)

Your problem is simple...

When you instantiate a generic package, you get a package, but you're
trying to call it a type.

Instantiate the generic, then use the type from the instance, something
like:

    package Bounded_Strings_80 is
        new Ada.Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_Length(80);

    subtype String_80 is Bounded_Strings_80.Bounded_String;


Good luck with Ada!
