Did you know that information on Ada lang. is available - FREE --??
The Navy offers Military specs and standards free of charge at the
following address:
Navy Publications and Forms Center
5801 Tabor Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19120-5099
Now how does this apply to Ada Computer Language, you ask?
Just do the following:
Drop a line to the above address and ask for a copy of
"Mil-std-1855" and they will send it right out, you don't
even pay postage (who says there is no free lunch).
Even easier would be for you to call the following phone number:
(215) 697-2626 or (215) 697-2237
and ask them for the sdocument listed above. This service is
sponsored by the Dept. of Defense, and is a service available to
"ALL" people (not just Govt. types).
By the way, the Mil-std-1855 is the standard by which the Ada compilers
are built. What have you got to lose? If you have further questions
just send me a line (jpotts). I'm not on the system often, but I do check i

Actually, it's ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A: "Reference Manual for the Ada Programming Language" T. Taft Intermetrics, Inc. Cambridge, MA 02138 P.S. 1815 "just so happens" to be the year of Lady Ada Lovelace's birth. P.P.S. We may have to rename this news file "misinfo-ada" . . . :-}
