Yes, that's a good way to do it.

Actually you can call them anything you like. You can even put the
whole program in one file if you like. Prof Feldman's book isn't
compiler specific (which is the right decision IMHO). However should
you wish to try out the GNU Ada compiler (GNAT) you will find it
convenient to use the naming scheme expected by default by that
compiler. What I used to do, rather than worry about it, was write the
code and then get the compiler to chop up my code into the correctly
names files using the gnatchop tool - see the (excellent) GNAT
documentation if interested. Personally I see no reason not to use
this naming scheme whatever Ada compiler you intend to use, it just
makes things simpler IMHO.
Cheers,
Chris
