In ANSI '83 Ada, you can do input/output with
generic package SEQUENTIAL_IO. It takes ELEMENT_TYPE,
the type to be input/output, as a generic formal parameter.
Just instantiate the package.
I hope your Ada implementation of SEQUENTIAL_IO has
FORM parameters which permit the i/o in human readable (ASCII)
form (this is implementation dependent).
You clearly can't use TEXT_IO because since the type is
generic formal private the generic has no way of knowing whether
it's text.
Another possibility is to import the required input/output functions
into the package as generic formal subprograms.
