I stand corrected. According to LRM 4.10(6) the expression -15 alone in the previous letter is universal_integer. Its context implies it is whatever [legal] type shares the relational operator, and is evaluated as an INTEGER in the expression "left < -15". Thanks goes to Hannu-Matti Jarvinen and Robert Snyder for the correction and the LRM reference. Rich DeSimine
