  We are attempting to convert some Pascal systems to the Ada language.
These Pascal programs extend over several source files, so we are replacing
the source files one by one.  The catch is, some global data must be shared
by Pascal and Ada programs.  We seem to be having a problem sharing access
types (pointers) and discriminant records (variant records).

  Pascal has a common compiler directive, and Ada has a psect pragma to help
declare things for global visibility.  Any hints on the fine points of
mixing and matching global data??  You may reply to me directly, and I'll
summarize if there is interest.

  ADVthanksANCE !!!
