"I'm a complete newbie to Ada and am currently working my way through the
 book 'Ada 95 from the beginning' by Jan Skansholm (the selected text for
my
 University).
 
 However there are several references to a package called BASIC_NUM_IO
which
 I do not have (I am running GNAT under Win 95). I know that this package
is
 a combination of two others in order to facilitate reading and writing of
 numbers at the console (I think?)."


The package is listed in the back of the book. It's only 20 or so lines,
so it's pretty easy to type in.

Alternatively you can replace 

	with basic_num_io; use basic_num_io;
	
with

	with ada.text_io; use ada.text_io;
	with ada.integer_text_io; use ada.integer_text_io;
	with ada.float_text_io;   use ada.float_text_io;

and the programs should still run just fine.
