You should check out 'modular types' and the standard package 'Interfaces'.

What compiler are you using? If the typical GNAT/AdaGIDE combo these
can be found under the Help->Language RM drop-down menu.

Also, check out www.adapower.com and the 'Learn Ada' option will take
you to link to a few free Ada95 books.

Good luck!
