a short (16 bit) unsigned integer is usually defined in the Unsigned_types
package as either range 0 .. 2**16-1 for Ada 83 or mod 2**16 for Ada 95 to
allow wrapping. You can usually just re-cast a variable of type
unsigned_short to integer (integer (unsigned_16_variable)). However, I
don't know how the type you are referring to is defined in your Interfaces
package. You can always use an unsigned_conversion from type unsigned_16 to
integer if you must.
