I have not seen AdaSockets, but I assume it returns data as a 'Stream',
not a 'String' (otherwise it's not Real Ada). So you want to use
Integer'read.

However, you should not be using type Integer, since the compiler does
not guarrantee it has the same size on both ends of the socket. You
should use your own integer type, with a specified size, or one of the
ones in package Interface.
