See the Ada Reference Manual (ARM) at:

A.10.1: The Package Text_IO
A.10.9: Input-Output for Real Types

You will find a package defined in Text_IO that looks like:

68.   generic
           type Num is delta <>;
        package Fixed_IO is .........

Section A.10.9 of the ARM describes the behavior of all the subprograms
in Fixed_IO.

The way to finding out the answers yourself is to get familiar with the
ARM. It is very formal and not the best "teaching aid" for learning Ada,
but it does provide a full specification of everything that is available
to you. (Especially the apendices!) You can get a hypertext version
on-line at: http://www.Adapower.com/ (see "Reference") along with lots
of other resources.
