I'm currently working on a project in which the system is being designed using an OO approach and will be coded in Ada83.  Since Ada83 does not provide explicit support for some OOD constructs, what approaches are used to implement OO design constructs (such as inheritance lattices, polymorphism, and whole/part hierarchies) in Ada83.  Are there ways to implement these constructs using Ada83 or should I not use these constructs in design?  Any information (or pointers to good information) on the topic of implementing OO designs using Ada 83 would be appreciated.
