Thanks very much, Ludovic, that answer was just what I needed !  The
warning count has decreased by about 80%.

Bill:  I take your point but I am trying to preserve semantic
information the conversion.  So I do want the types to be distinct.
The Pascal source has been modified where necessary thus:

     dest := (*ada:typeofdest*)(expr);

which the convertor sees as

     dest := typeofdest(expr);

in order to maintain the distinction of types.
