Most Ada compilers have an bit type available, for instance Janus/Ada has an 8-bit type System.Byte. Also, you can use a representation clause to make any type 8-bits. You probably ought to ask your compiler vendor these questions; they usually will be happy to help. Randy Brukardt R.R. Software, Inc.
