Not having been through any formal training in the object.operation notation struggles, the OO feeling of Ada packages is clear enough. You define the data structures you want to disclose in the types available through the spec, as well as the functions and procedures the modify those attributes. A change in notation might be useful and make the work easier, but it works well enough in the current instantiation that a user of the ARM can make it work. So, after we canonize the original developers, we can make it work. Bruce B.
