All the temps are allocated on the primary Ah... But now we are in that unknown category: has the latest version of GNAT passed the certification tests needed to be approved for use on our application... (I was just CC'd on an email at work in which it was discovered that the VMS cross-compiler had been patched in 1992 [obviously an Ada-83 compliant system], used for 14 years, yet the official document for the compiler version to be cited in all documentation was prior to that... Yes, we are using a 14-year-old cross compiler on an even older OS -- because that is a certified development system... Just changing from WinXP to Win7 [on another development system] requires heavy time&money investment to certify that the binaries [to run on neither of those OSs] have not changed!) -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
