I mailed Beau and got the sources.

The "not recognising" was due to the package location  being ommited in a case
where the "with" clause was used, but not the "use" clause.  (e.g. x := y; not
loc.x := y; with no "use" clause).

That still get's to me on occasion when I don't use "use" clauses and it was
really confusing when I was learning Ada, but GNAT is quite clever in that it
tells you where to look (although the message can fade into the background
sometimes and getting used to the compiler messages is always a challenge (GNAT
has the best error messages so far) ).  I don't know if I explained it proper.


Don't start a barny on this (the "use" clause)!!!

p.s. is it GNAT or AdaGIDE that signals you about a possible mis-spelling?  If
it's not GNAT, ... then Jeff we gotta have this, I can't live without it :-)
