The simple, quick and dirty answer is to write your routines in Turbo
Pascal and pragma INTERFACE to them. Write a general purpose TP routine to
Write_to_Printer and a Read_From_Keyboard then encapsulate the interface
into an Ada package pragma INTERFACEing to your TP routines.
But you may want to check out the Ada way of writing to a file and have
that file point to a printer. I haven't done this but I'm sure it's
possible.
WRT reading from the keyboard, if you want anykind of real control over
what is read then you might want to interface to TP or TC or whatever. If
you are simply reading in stuff then you could use TEXT_IO.GET or
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE.
