Re: A question and a request

Eric,

I see you have already gotten an explanation of how subtypes work.

I am willing to act as a quasi-mentor for your Ada st;udies. I have
been studying and programming in Ada since 1994. That does not make
me the most qualified from comp.lang.ada, but I do think I can help.

I have been programming in C since 1981. I also know Java, and have
some familiarity with Perl.
