Hi,

Is it possible to do something like the following?

generic
   NI : Positive;
package P is

   type IV is array (1..NI) of float;

end P;

generic
   type X is ...
package T is


type TP is record
   A : X;
end TP;

end T;

with the ability to make the type of X = type of IV?  I want to 
instansiate T with IV after instantiating P, but don't know what to make 
X.  Is there any way to avoid using an access type to hold X in the 
record TP?  (in the case where type x is an unconstrained array of floats).


Cheers,
Chris
