James Squire asks

<<I'm trying to estimate a conversion factor for a particular Ada 95
compiler on a particular target.  The conversion is from SLOC (loosely
translated:  number of semi-colons) to bytes of executable code.>>

It is absolutely *essential* in a language like Ada to also factor 
coding style into this equation, otherwise you can get some very nasty
surprised. For instance, code using finalization heavily can generate
lots of extra code, as can heavy tasking code.
