Not understood. There is no standard "package Timer" in Ada 95 (nor 
other Ada standards, AFAIK).

That sounds like some HW timer. Normally you would not use those 
directly, but instead use the "delay" or "delay until" statements, to 
wait until the actual time when something should be done, and let the 
compiler and run-time system handle the HW timers.
