Hi,

I'm a complete newbie to Ada and am currently working my way through the
book 'Ada 95 from the beginning' by Jan Skansholm (the selected text for my
University).

However there are several references to a package called BASIC_NUM_IO which
I do not have (I am running GNAT under Win 95). I know that this package is
a combination of two others in order to facilitate reading and writing of
numbers at the console (I think?).

I can currently get around the problem but would like to know why this
package is not included when the author of the book states that all Ada 95
source was compiled using GNAT. Is my version missing something?

Any comments on the validity of the book that I am using to learn Ada would
also be appreciated.

Cheers,

Jamie.
