This might be true for an interactive application that needs to detect
individual keypresses (or better yet, use the POSIX/Ada interface if
your vendor supports it).

For the application in question (a Fortran scanner), I think the best
thing is just to use Text_IO.Get_Line and scan characters from the
input string.  Ada's Text_IO is perfectly adequate for this kind of thing.
