Maybe i'll just use this instead of "exactly windows ini files format".

I did use google. Searched for "ini file reader". Then for "ini file 
reader class" what was quite stupid since Ada doesn't have class but 
package.

After i've read this post i decided to look for "ada ini file package".. 
some results:

1. http://sage.inel.gov/rman_toc_ada.htm
2. http://lists.act-europe.fr/pipermail/gtkada/2002-May/001459.html
3. http://jacob.sparre.dk/Ada/aws_demo/source/aws-config-ini__adb.htm

ad 1: works with StonyBrook compiler.. never heard of it..
ad 2: spec file looks good, but where is the body?
ad 3: looks like it's aws specific..

also in the result set:

4. http://www.nongnu.org/Grace/config_files.html
5. http://www.toadmail.com/~ada_wizard/ada/windex.html

ad 4: looks like what you have suggested.
ad 5: I just assumed it's not platform independent.

What i just wanted is a single package independent of other packages and 
platform independent.
