An Ada 95 text book is not a substitute for compiler documentation. The answer
to your question is that it varies from one compiler to another (this has
nothing to do with the language itself), and to find the answer for your
compiler, read the documentation that comes with it. For example, in the case
of GNAT, there is a chapter of the users guide called "File Naming Rules".
If you are trying to use a compiler without the documentation, stop, and
find and read the documentation, you will save yourself a lot of wasted time.
