Your 3 bit arrays may be applicable to the Human Genome project. They should
be a good way to compress the data. It may also be possible to look for
matching "strings". Would the inclusion of generic characters in
Ada.Strings.Bounded have facilitated your work?

A follow up to this thread:

Green Hills provided an update for their compiler that solved our
porting problem. Their response to our need came at a very timely
point in our project, so - Many thanks to Green Hills from Raytheon at
the F-15 Systems Development Center at Luke AFB, Arizona.
