Yeah, I definitely don't feel "comfortable" doing
Unchecked_Conversions all over the place.

I think I'm going to change everything over to Streams
and use GNAT.Sockets.  It seems this way works much
the same way as Java's ByteBuffer in reading/writing
integers, characters, etc safely.

Safety and correctness is what I want.

Thanks
