If you have access to Text_IO in your system, it includes procedures to
to convert strings to integer, integer to string, string to float, etc.  If
you instantiate integer_io (contained in Text_IO), then

  Your_Integer_IO.Get(  -- converts from string to integer
  Your_Integer_IO.Put(  -- converts from integer to string

ditto for float_IO and fixed_IO.  See the specification of Text_IO in
you LRM for details.
