what does this mean?  Does it mean that I can call joemontana
( anytype)?

-------------------------jeffrey.ads
  type Cd is ..........
  package Convert_Cd is new joemontana(Cd);   --====> does this mean
I'm instantiating the
 
--           generic package joemontana for the type 'Cd'?

-------------------------jeffrey.adb
with_cd : System.Address
  x := Convert_Cd.To_Pointer( with_cd);

-------------------------joemontana.spc
generic
  type Object(<>) is limited private;
package joemontana is
  type Object_Pointer is access all Object;
  ...
  function To_Pointer(Value : System.Address) return Object_Pointer;
  ...
end joemontana;

Yes, it means just that. But wait, you can save time by using the
predefined one, http://adaic.org/standards/05rm/html/RM-13-7-2.html#I4643

Ah yes.  I forgot to mention that in the header of the package I'm
looking at, it references just that.  So I guess I'm looking at some
automated code generation??  Because it is awefully layered sorta
speak, at least for a newbie here.
