Hmmm....you do make a good point.

I tried 
	
	S'Size := Cell'Max_Size_in_Storage_Elements * Max;

in the body of the package and I get this...

	S'Size := Cell'Max_Size_in_Storage_Elements * Max;
	|
     >>>Declaration Expected

which seems pretty redundant as S is already declared in the spec file.

You know, I didnt have much trouble with other segments of Ada(so far),
but Storage Pools are really starting chaffe my ass. It seems like I
could re-declare the same variable a dozen times in each of a dozen
different packages of a program, and the compiler would still keep asking
me to re-declare it. S WAS ALREADY DECLARED! The only thing I can chalk
it up to is a bug in the compiler, either it's giving false errors or the
error message needs to be re-written to make sense.

Please be patient, I'm a little tired and cranky after going over this
for the 137th time.


Anyways, thanks.
