I wonder if what you want is to convert a Time_Span type rather than a
Time type value. A value of type Time is more likely to be a form of
'10:21pm, 30 September 2001', and a Time_Span type a form of 1.5
seconds. (Subtract two Ada.Real_Time.Time values and the function
provided in the Ada.Real _Time package provides an
Ada.Real_Time.Time_Span type value)
Ada.Real_Time provides the To_Duration function to convert an
Ada.Real_Time.Time_Span value to a Duration. You can cast this to a real
floating type, or you can use Duration'Image if you're printing the
result.
