Um, counting seven lines from the top, the error is on the instantiation
of the package:

> package Int_Sort_IO is new Static_Sort(Element_Type => integer);

not on the line you indicate. The instantiation requires a "<" function,
as the error message says. 

I'd say you need a better editor, that puts the cursor on the error!
Emacs does this; I assume AdaGIDE (comes with GNAT on Win95) does, but
I'm not sure.
