Two possibilities suggest themselves:
1) use the 'Value attribute (RM95 Annex K, available online at
   http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/lrm95/k.htm, paras
   264-267)
2) use some of the facilities defined in Ada.Float_Text_IO (see
   http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/lrm95/a_10_09.htm).
