Hi all

I'm quite new to ADA, ( a few weeks) and I'm trying to write some code for 
a monodirectional linked list.

I've done several function which satisfies me, althought I think
my style is not in the Ada phylosophy.

The first true problem i've encountered is this one: I want to destroy
my linked list, so i would like to free each link in the list.
I think that I have to use Ada.Unchecked.Deallocation()
My procedure:

   procedure Free is
   new Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation (Liste, Liste_Acs);

works fine when I put this code directly in the main program, but that's not
my goal; I didn't manage to put this procedure, like the other functions, 
in the body and in the specification parts of my package.
When I try to do that, i got this error:

 package body LCM is
                |
   >>> missing body for "Free" declared at lcm.ads:28

I don't understand (maybe because of misunderstanding of the Generic concept ?)

Is this procedure supposed to have a "body" ? I thought the body was provided by
the instanciation of the generic procedure ? (I'm not sure about the exact terms)

Thanks for any help or commments on my code !
(I think my code is clear enough not to translate the name of my functions into
english)

Here come my code:

/***************************************************************

   procedure Free;
