There's a good chance that I will be here over the next couple weeks asking questions about things that may be trivial for an experienced Ada programmer -- deal with it :) So, what is a 'record' in Ada? Do I have to think about it like a struct in C? It seems to serve the same purpose. Is 'record' the only type modifier? Where are the differences? Thanks in advance, - Matthias Kaeppler
