Wes says

"   -- The address of  Pointer.all  is  Pointer.all'Address --"

and advises against use of unchecked_conversoin of pointers <-> addresses.

True enough. Even better advice in Ada 95 is always to use the
Address_To_Acces_Conversions package. Note that even with this
package, the conversion of an address to a pointer to unconstrained
array is VERY dubious (where do the bounds come from?)
