Why not:
Dist: constant Meter := +0.000_86;
Or use Dmitry Kazakov's or my method:
Dist: constant SI := 0.000_86 * Meter;
or
Dist: constant SI := 0.86 * Milli * Meter;
See http://home.T-Online.de/home/Christ-Usch.Grein/Ada/
You'll find references to four methods to use dimensioned items (one of them of
course Macks).
