(with apologies to Paul Harvey...) The example that Peter Pearson sent about allowing entry names to be "withed" as a formal procedure in a generic package compiles and executes with Verdix Ada on the Vax as well (I have VADS 5.1b, and Ultrix-32m 1.1). Looks like we have two votes for its legality. "... and now you know the rest of the story." -- Karl -- with disclaimer; -- I own stock in Verdix

In this case it doesn't matter how you vote--the manual rather autocratically has decreed it to be legal in section 12.3.6(1). No democracy here. Those of us who read manuals for a living wish to express our gratitude to those of you who don't. Larry Wall, President Gurus Local #1273. sdcrdcf!lwall
