It seems that Gnat implementation of Direct_IO is not compatible with the
use of pragma Ada_83 (Is this a bug ?)
You should list what you use from Direct_IO, and write your own My_Direct_IO
package (not necessarely generic)
Anyway if you use this package for save/load, you need a file format which
is not Gnat specific.
