Help needed - Upper Bound of an array - Question.

[adacrypt <austin.obyrne@hotmail.com>]

I am not an expert programmer in Ada but I have taught myself enough
Ada-95 to be able to write some difficult cryptography programs that I
post in another group.

My problem is this.  I need to test the frequency of the ciphertext
which is sometimes a long string of large positive integers of 7 or 8
digits in magnitude and to do that I need an array that will
accommodate up to 10,000,000 elements ideally.

I have already found out that I cannot go more than 500,000 elements
in the array size.  My computer has 32-bit architecture.

What I need to know from some kind person is this - Is the array size
a property of the Ada-95 language or the computer?

I need to know this before resorting to a 64-bit computer which might
not solve the problem and be an expensive mistake.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
