Subject: Ada83 or DEC Ada: Feature or bug?

Message-ID: <360ecv$kq1@hacker.demon.co.uk> (raw)
Is it a feature of Ada83 or DEC Ada that makes it impossible to work with
unsigned values? MAX_INT always bites back with CONSTRAINT_ERROR when I try
to do any real work with unsigned 32bit values (i.e. SYSTEM.UNSIGNED_LONGWORD).
Both I and my coworkers find this terribly annoying. Is this part of Ada83
or a DEC Ada peculiarity? If Ada83, will it be fixed in 9X?
Thanks,
Steve
