It's apparent that you haven't developed a very good understanding of 
Ada yet, so I have to ask why you think you need pointers. Pointers are 
needed in Ada much less often than in many other languages. About the 
only time a beginner really needs pointers is to implement dynamic data 
structures, but such structures don't generally need arrays. It appears 
you may be trying to create a hash table, but I think you need to sit 
down with one of the fine on-line texts or tutorials and get to know the 
language a little better before you dive into something like that. A 
good place to look on the net for Ada resources is www.adapower.com; 
www.adaworld.com is another.
