In either case, it seems like a reasonable answer to give a student that either a) solves the problem or b) points at a possible solution. (id est, duplicate the "Move" procedure with your own code.) Didn't really sound like homework - more like "Is there a pre-fab Ada answer to a common programming need?" But students should know we don't do the work for them - unless, of course, they can afford rather large consulting fees. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Preben Randhol" wrote in message news:slrna5fltm.13j.randhol+abuse@kiuk0156.chembio.ntnu.no... > > Is this homework? >
