Re: text_io is not a predefined library

["David C. Hoos, Sr." <david.c.hoos.sr@ada95.com>]

Using Text_IO in place of Ada.TextIO is not the problem.

Note the following from RM95, J.1;
The following library_unit_renaming_declarations exist:

2 with Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
generic function Unchecked_Conversion renames Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
3 with Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation;
generic procedure Unchecked_Deallocation renames Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation;
4 with Ada.Sequential_IO;
generic package Sequential_IO renames Ada.Sequential_IO;
5 with Ada.Direct_IO;
generic package Direct_IO renames Ada.Direct_IO;

6 with Ada.Text_IO;
package Text_IO renames Ada.Text_IO;
7 with Ada.IO_Exceptions;
package IO_Exceptions renames Ada.IO_Exceptions;
8 with Ada.Calendar;
package Calendar renames Ada.Calendar;
9 with System.Machine_Code;
package Machine_Code renames System.Machine_Code; -- If supported.

The earlier suggestion by Jeff Creem that it is a GNAT installation
problem is the correct explanation for the phenomenon.
