Ok, I think I understand.  In Ada, every vanilla package imports all of the=
 public functions/procedures to be used and can be thought of as static fun=
ctions in C++.  However, I can create instances of different records in ord=
er to retain an element of state like I would in C++ when I create an objec=
t.

Or am I completely off the rails?
