   You can easily create your own To_Upper function like this:

	function To_Upper (Cin : Character) return Character is
	   I : Integer;
	   Cout : Character;
	begin
	   I := Character'Pos ('a') - Character'Pos ('Z');
	   if Cin in 'a'..'z' then
	      Cout := Character'Val (Character'Pos (Cin) - I);
	   else
	      Cout := Cin;
	   end if;
	   return Cout;
	end;

   I believe that the character set is standard, so you could redeclare "I"
as:

	I : constant Integer := 32;
