Someone with more experience than I would be more qualified to answer, but =
I haven't come across any incompatability-examples in my own searches which=
 leads me to believe that the two are compatable.

According to wikipedia ( http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Category:Ada_Programm=
ing/Ada_2005_incompatibilities ) the only incompatability is the 'Bit_Order=
 attribute.

Again, someone with more Ada 95 experience would be able to give  a more de=
finite answer.
