Re: Parallel Merge Sort

Your Sort_Package declares an array type that it knows how to sort, which
means that anyone using it must use its array type.  Take a look at
Barnes' "Programming in Ada 95", 2nd edition, p. 396, or "A generic
sorting procedure" in John English's "Ada 95 The Craft of Object-Oriented
Programming" (online via www.adapower.com) where they take the more
general approach of passing in the array type as a parameter:
  generic
    type Index is (<>);
    type Item is private;
    type Collection is array(Index range <>) of Item;
    with function "<"(X,Y:Item) return Boolean;
  procedure Sort(C : in out Collection);
