Well... it depends on the nature of your project...
+/- portable, +/- console, +/- DOS, +/- interactive, ... ?
Maybe the ANSI solution is the tradeoff you are looking for.
Just by searching the Web with "procedure gotoxy is ansi ada"
I found a lot of ready-made packages. E.g. this one

Thanks for that Gautier,
Unfortunately, I'm still having problems getting the ANSI solution to work.
I am running Windows 2000, and I know that the ANSI.SYS drivers must be
loaded to function properly.
I've added two lines to both config.nt and config.sys to load the drivers.
Whenver I execute:
put( Ascii.ESC & "[2J" ); --or any other derivative of..
All I get is [2J printed on the screen.
Any ideas?

Forget ANSI with NT. Microsoft is not compatible to any standard in the world.

You need to use the Windows NT console API. I've had the same problem
and found a package from Jerry van Dijk(*) which implements screen
positioning functions. I also modified the ANSI terminal emulator
packages by Michael Feldman(**) to work with the Console API package. So
you can write programms that are portable from NT to OSses which have
ANSI by simply recompiling them with a different package.
I would mail you the whole stuff, if you get yourself a real email address.
(*) I don't remember the URL where I found that
(**) Part of the gnat sample programms

Which might be a good moment to remark that as of january 1 my webpage will
move to:
http://users.ncrvnet.nl/gmvandijk
But right now both addresses should work.

Excellent. I've used your package as a temporary workaround for the Win32
Console problem in Windows NT. I've left full commentary as credit, and will
add your updated site URL to the documentation.

The above address just gives me a 404 error, and a bunch of text in a language I
don't understand.
On the plus side, its just about the prettiest 404 error I've ever seen. :-)
