Ada does not define error messages; all error messages are the complete responsibility of the compiler vendor. If you are obtaining "bizarre" errors, I would strongly recommend that you start using a better-quality compiler. > I know of no other univerisities or colleges that are teaching Ada in > an introductory course. Check the proceedings from recent ASEET (Ada / Software Engineering Education and Training) conferences; you'll find quite a few. Bill Wolfe, wtwolfe@hubcap.clemson.edu
