Package Standard is the "magic" Ada package that provides a context
within which all Ada units are compiled.  Standard contains the definitions
of such things like: Integer, Natural, Float, Character, Wide_Character,
Ascii etc.

All compilers have Standard somewhere, but not always as source code.
Rational delivers Standard as source code with Apex, but it does have that
special
file name, so that you can use the normal browsing commands etc. to see
the declarations in the package.

Similarly, you shouldn't try to compile the Apex Text_Io source with GNAT,
instead
use the Text_Io that comes with GNAT.

As a basic rule, you should not migrate anything under the lrm.ss,
predefined.ss,
rational.ss subsystems.
