   I'm working on an Ada parser and need some information; hope

   Upon finding a WITH clause, the compiler determines which file to

 <<It is implementation dependent.
    Some _examples_ of package specification file names :
      <package>.ads
      <package>.1.ada
      <package>.ada_>>

Robert notes:

With most but not all, Ada compilers, the choice of file names is
arbitrary. For example in GNAT, there are no restrictions on the
names of files containing Ada source programs. There is a default
convention, but the user is free to choose any convention they
choose for file names.
