No, this is not for school. :-) After 30 years of COBOL and
REXX, I'm trying to teach myself Ada, which I'm finding a lot
more understandable than C, especially for text manipulation.
Thanks very much for this elegant solution; text handling seems
to be a somewhat neglected subject in the Ada books and web
sites I've been reading.
