Silly, eh? I've been programming in Ada for 21 years, and often compile programs that end with "end New_Type;" instead of "end record;". It seems obvious now, but it's also clear from the syntax that the designers thought that the "type Name is..." part is separate from the "record" part (type definition vs. type declaration), so the problem is understandable. And I don't know if it is worth fixing. Randy.
