The only difference is that the array itself is My_Array.all; My_Array
is its access.
But since My_Array.all(i) can also be written shorter as My_Array(i),
the changes to you program will be minimal.
And yes, you can use it in Ada 95 and above, and even in Ada 83 (with
a small difference: no "Ada." before Unchecked_Deallocation).
