I thought the original post required a solution compatible with DEC Ada
hosted on VAX/VMS. I don't think this solution is going to fly in that
environment :)"

Sure, that's true enough, but I was responding to some incorrect Ada 95
code that was proposed with some correct Ada 95 code!

But it cerainly will not work on Dec Ada hosted on VAX/VMS :-(

Maybe one day we will be able to compile the above program on VAX/VMS
who can tell? :-)
