You mean the _procedure_ Read, from Stream_IO ?

   procedure Read (File : in File_Type;
                   Item : out Stream_Element_Array;
                   Last : out Stream_Element_Offset);

Nice, but for my buffer I need to use the Read _attribute_ (13.13.2).

procedure S'Read( Stream : access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                   Item : out T)

No "Last" there... If I try:

         IO_buf'Read( Ada.Streams.Stream_IO.Stream(infile), inbuf, last );

a compiler says as expected:
unz_io.adb:55:67: unexpected argument for "Read" attribute

Hence my question.
Mmmh, unless I redefine my buffer as a Stream_Element_Array.
Are you assuming that ?
