According from the minutes of an ALIWG meeting in December 1987 that were published in SIGAda's Ada letters May 88 issue, such a proposal was passed in the first round. I don't know it's current status. The proposal is not too clear on the details, but it seems like package types should be like task types. What you get with package variables are objects that not only contain data, but also procedures. In effect, Ada provides this today with task types, but with a substantial overhead. -- Erland Sommarskog ENEA Data, Stockholm This signature is not to be quoted. sommar@enea.se
