If you're using the Text_IO Get procedures make sure you're using Float_IO.
Be warned that on some compilers (in my experience DEC Ada 3.5-20) the
string really has to represent a float or it will raise an exception. GNAT
is more liberal in it's interpretation of the standard and will happily
return the integer part. You have to check the value of Last to see how much
of the string it converted.
