Hi

i like to do something like this in Ada95  (excuse the C-example):

	typedef struct  {  ..,other_data;   char data[1];  }  Msg_data; 
	Msg_Data	*shared;

	// get some memory from the system
	DosGetSharedMemory( ..., &shared... )

	// copy data into shared memory 
	for( i ,,,, )
	   shared->data[i] := some_data[i];

In  Ada95  i am not able to copy data from an Ada object into a some external
memory.
Any idea ?
