 A follow-up to my earlier post about Put in Enumeration_IO.  I
 notice you are concerned about this problem with the 'Image
 attribute.  The following code should handle this problem
 quite nicely,

  with Ada.Characters.Handling;
  with Ada.Text_IO;
  use  Ada;
  use  Characters;
  procedure Test_Handling is
  begin
    Ada.Text_IO.Put(Handling.To_Lower(Boolean'Image(True)));
  end Test_Handling;

For some odd reason, people are still not getting used to the idea
of using the Character and String packages pre-defined in Annex A.
A lot of problems are solved easily using these services.
