Brian asks

<<I am trying to pass put to a generic package so I can print to the screen
the elements of a generic vector.  I know you have to call put someting
else, but I'm stuck on the syntax.  I would REALLY appreciate so help.
Could you please respond via e mail. TIA.>>

YOu should always send source, but in this case, you have run into a problem
so common that it should be in some FAQ somewhere. Everyone thinks of
Put has having one parameter, and therefore being suitable for use as a
generic formal subprogram with one parameer -- but in fact Put has several
parameters, so it does not match -- You wll have to make a wrappr.
