How much storage requires the following record? I am afraid that in some 
compilers each string would require about Natural'Last bytes (way too much).

   type Filename_And_Fragment (Filename_Length, Fragment_Length: Natural) is
      record
         Filename: String(1..Filename_Length);
         Fragment: String(1..Fragment_Length);
      end record;

If the above is wrong (from memory positions), what is the right way to do 
it?
