No packages, is that a joke ??

This is the most stupid limitation I've ever eard !!!!!

Who could possibly decide to not use packages in an Ada project ?

How can you even design such application ?

You have only procedures and functions ? Where do you put the shared
types ? Don't tell us that you use only predefined types ? Or maybe
your application is just one procedure with everything in it :)

Pascal.
