There never has been a 'Low_Level_IO' package in Ada83, this is probably
some vendor specific library. Ask this vendor for its Ada95 compiler
version, providing you are still using a compiler from the same vendor.
If not, well, this is what happens when you depend on vendor specific
packages.

How that could be archieved depents on the compiler and operating
system you are using.
