in my program using the sequential_io package i am recieving the error
"Actual for "File" must be a variable" for this line

71.      seq_io.close(old_file);

i have instantiated sequential_io to be seq_io and declared

32.  old_file : seq_io.file_type;

at the same time i am not recieving the error for every command for example
i have one line that reads

74.     seq_io.close(new_file);
and
89.      seq_io.read(old_file, current);

so i'm assuming that the variable old_file does exist, and is fine, but that
i have done something else wrong,
any help with this program would be appreciated, thanks, Ryan
