gnat: can't find package

gnat: can't find package

[Tim Rowe]

The gnat documentation tells me to expect a package 
Ada.Strings.Maps.Constants, in which I should find
Lower_Set : constant Character_Set;

It doesn't seem to be there. AdaGIDE doesn't offer "Constants" as a 
completion for "Ada.Strings.Maps.", the compiler doesn't recognise 
Lower_Set, and grep doesn't turn up Lower_Set anywhere in the gnat libs 
directory. Is it anywhere to be found, and if so how do I get the 
compiler to recognise it? And if it isn't, how do I convert a string to 
lower case?

TIA,

Tim Rowe

It is in there. You need to make it visible with dot notation or use
clause. Check the scope and visibility rules from the Ada Language
Reference Manual (LRM).

This is a standard package. See ARM A.4.6. If you're unable to with it, 
there's a problem with your installation.

That's what I thought. The installation is the one that 
gnat-3.15p-nt.exe gave me, so if it's not in there then I don't know 
where I can get it. The other libraries I've tried are in there.

Ok, cancel that. Found it (although AdaGIDE seems to be uncertain about it).
