Word of warning: the Meridian compiler was notoriously bad at enforcing the
rules of the Ada language. It was not unusual for a program compiled with it
to have major issues when it was ported to another Ada compiler. (We used to
have many support calls about that, which required me to explain to people
that things like
    for I in (1..10) loop
is not legal Ada syntax.)
