I've decided that is time to learn Ada. What's the best way to do
this? Which books are interesting and useful?
I don't need to learn to program (I'm semi-fluent in C, Pascal,
FORTRAN, and have dabbled with Modula-2, CLU, and many more that I
can't remember). I need to get an overview of the language, and a
glimpse of some of the paradigms.

A popular book here at Intermetrics (i.e. Ada compiler-writers) is ``Software Engineering with Ada'', by Grady Booch (The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Co., Inc., 1983). Other than its popularity, though, I can't say whether anything else exists which is measurably better (having just started learning myself). Have fun...

I tried to reply to every message that I received, but the mailer
returned many as undeliverable. Sorry to post this.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for their recommendations and general
advice. I'll wander down to the Coop and look at the recommendations
in the next few days.
