It sure is a pity that you insisted on using the obsolete Ada 83 name for the
package instead of the proper Ada 95 name:

     1. with Ada.Calender; use Ada.Calender;
             |
        >>> "Ada.Calender" is not a predefined library unit
        >>> possible misspelling of "Ada.Calendar"

     2. procedure Time1 is
     3.    package Time_Io is new Fixed_Io(Day_Duration);
     4.    use Time_Io;
     5.    T:Day_Duration;
     6.    X:Float;
     7. begin
     8.    T:=Secound(Clock);
     9.    Time_Io.Put(T);
    10.    New_Line;
    11.    for Z in 1..1000 loop
    12.       X:=5.23234;
    13.    end loop;
    14.    T:=Secounds(Clock);
    15.    Time_Io.Put(T);
    16.    New_Line;
    17. end Time1;

We can't give such a warning for Calender, since it is just fine for you as a
user to define your own package called Calender (or misspelled any other way
you please), but you can't introduce your own children of Ada.
