Oh no it isn't :-) See http://archive.adaic.com/docs/compat-guide/compat-guide6-0.txt. This tells you where your Ada83 code (other than that which uses third-party libraries) may be incompatible with Ada95. Fortunately there aren't many cases but being pedantic about it it isn't completely downward compatible. Best Regards John McCabe To reply by email replace 'nospam' with 'assen'
