- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- This generic package allows the user to input data types from
- -- the keyboard while checking the input for errors. (Proper Type:
- -- syntax and ranges.)
- --
- -- A procedure for checking input of characters for a proper
- -- subrange of the character set is provided.
- --
- -- When an error is encountered, an error message is displayed
- -- and the user is allowed to reenter. Output routines are provided to
- -- allow the user to do I/O with only one instantiation. Screen
- -- manipulation (i.e. NEW_LINE) should be done with TEXT_IO directly.
- --
- -- Instantiations require a FIELD_WIDTH which specifies the
- -- maximum field width for the input of the corresponding type.
