Actually, since modular types fall into the universal integer
category, the conversion is even easier:

  char : character := ' ';
  uc   : Interfaces.C.unsigned_char := 65;

begin

  char := character'val(uc);  -- char is now 'A'

Hi,
    I've got my interface to Vx thing working but i want to display the
contents
of the information it retrieves.  I've got Interfaces.C.Unsigned_Char types
in
an array and this maps to a Mod type in GNAT.  I've tried allsorts of
conversions between a single C.UC to character and unsigned conversions too.
How do i convert between them?  It's annoying since this is the only thing
that's not working, everything else is.

Thanks,
Chris Campbell
