The real question was: "how would you convert this to Ada." This was 
then repeated as: "How do you translate this example to Ada?" Since the 
code presented determined whether a character was in 'A' .. 'Z', he 
should not be surprised to receive answers that used "in 'A' .. 'Z'".

I'm sorry, but I don't accept that someone who's able to write the 
example is unable to ask, "How do you convert a character to an 
integer?" or, "How do you determine if a value is in a range of values?" 
if that's what he really wanted to ask.
