bit manipulation and logical operators

HELP!

I am fairly new to Ada.  I love the language and I'm certain it's
bound to become my favorite, but right now, I'm having a hard time
dealing with some restrictions.

I come from a C background (alright - no razzberries...) and as such
I have no fear of using bit and word logical operators like AND, OR,
and XOR.  In Ada, this is a realizable fear.

I may be missing some part of the language, and if I am, please tell
me, but how in the crap can I get the equivalent of AND, OR, and XOR
in Ada?  Does anyone out there have any packages, routines, etc., for
these entities?

I'll gladly read any responses up to, but not including, a dissertation
on Ada vs. C...
