Jeff: you can remove the whole when others => … block, which was put in place as a debugging aid (just in case) but was never triggered. I’ll remove it immediately from the original post, thanks for your note.

While it may be compact, the use of ‘img is not standard Ada 95. It is a non-standard extension that is part of gnat. As far as I know, it is not even a part of Ada 2005.
So, while ‘img is nice, it is a shame to take a fully portable program and break it for a sake of a few characters. (i.e.

Put_Line (”Current PC: ” & Unsigned_32′image(Current_PC));
Put_Line (”Operator: ” & Unsigned_32′image(Operator));
Put_Line (”A: ” & Unsigned_32′image(A));
Put_Line (”B: ” & Unsigned_32′image(B));
Put_Line (”C: ” & Unsigned_32′image(C));
