exactly! As I said before I'm new to ada, so I type a program I found in 
a web page, and download the source code either, but the result is not 
the same, I already found some mistakes in my code without see the other 
source code, but I think a debuggger to trace the code would be great 
for learn how Ada do some stuff. Thanks.
