Re: Ada'83 to Ada'95 Problem

Yes, this is a difference between Ada83 & Ada95. People complained that
Text_IO was too unforgiving when reading numeric values. One possible
solution is to read in the line as a string and scan the string for correct
input before reading the Integer from the string.

In real world software that requires keyboard input, you almost invariably
go to some form of parsing your own input characters because inevitably,
language-supplied features never do all the things you want them to do...
