<<Is there a operational difference between calling the MacOS NewPtr
and using Ada's "new" allocator?  How is "new" implemented for
GNAT under MacOS?>>

You should be using new, unless there is some definite reason for
calling the underlying (non-portable) NewPtr function. NewPtr is
a Mac dependent function, new is the only proper portable way
to do allocation in Ada.
