Look at package System in the RM.  It's a private type (not an integer
type), and there are various conversion functions in System and its
children that can be used to create Address values.

Also, you will need to declare a *constant* of type Address, and use
that in the address clause.  Put the constant before the variable you're
setting the address of.

In Ada 95, the preferred syntax is "for X'Address use Blah;", rather
than "for X use at Blah;".
