HOMEWORK PROBLEM 2_8         INTRODUCTION TO Ada II   586.2

PURPOSE:      To learn about Chapter 13.
              This is the most implementation dependent part
              of ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A

END RESULT:   One or more compilations. Compilations that have
              errors that show the limitations of the compiler
              relative to Chapter 13 are acceptable.

PROBLEM:      This is more of an experimental study rather
              than a specific problem. Read Chapter 13 and
              then experiment to find out how much of the
              representation specification area is implemented.
              Find out all of the types ( or classes of types )
              that can be used in record representation. Negative
              results showing what can not be used are acceptable.
              An alternate is to rework SPLIT.ADA on PUSERS:[ADA.ADACLASS]
              to work an a VAX floating point type. ( Detail VAX data
              is attached along with an abbreviated SPLIT )

TURN IN:      Printout of compilation(s)
              Printout of execution for some built in test data,
              if applicable.

OBSERVE:      There are 3 integer types : normal, short and short_short
              There are enumeration types that you can define
              There are 3 floating point types
                       ( with one type having 2 options )
              There are character and string types
              And more ...
