iBob asks:
type Seconds_In_A_Day is range 0 .. 60*60*24;
(Why does everybody in this thread like literals so much?)
because it is much easier to see that 86_400 is bigger than 32767 than
it is to see that 60*60*24 is bigger than 2**15-1 :-)
P.S. Bob is right, all versions of GNAT support 64 bit integers, this is
true even if the architecture has limited support for such integers
(appropriate software routines are used if necessary).
