In general, you need to write a stand-alone, parameterless procedure
as the place where execution will start in an Ada program.  In some
special situations, a program without such a "main unit" could be
useful (e.g. as a "dynamic linked library" = DLL), but for your
purposes, I recommend you always create a parameterless "main" procedure.
It can be very simple, containing just a single call on a function
or procedure in your package.
