The reason for the differing stdout text in the Ada examples 23 is in  
the differing way that Ada denotes numbers that are not base 10. (Ada  
can handle--input and output--numbers in any base from 2 to 16 or 36-- 
I can't remember which right now.) The pattern is  
The_Base#The_Number#, so for example what C denotes as 0x80000000 Ada  
denotes as 16#80000000#. I have made the Ada output conform to the C  
style.

Also, trivially, the C version prints out
... style and weight are  sans-serif upright medium
which I "corrected" in my original thick Ada version to
... style and weight are sans-serif upright medium

The extra space has been re-inserted in the thick Ada example for  
consistency with the C output.
