It is kept much more up to date. I'm not sure that it's the "ANSI" Ada LRM, but it certainly isn't the draft. You can check its status by calling the Ada Information Clearinghouse (202)-685-1477 (I think), or sending mail to ada-info (not info-ada!) @ada20.isi.edu. You can find the files you want in ps:<ada-info>lrm-*.. For those of you who can't get the files via anonymous ftp (I don't believe that ada20 has an archive server running), contact the Ada IC for information about tape distribution. -- Karl --

The most recent online version of the RM is called version 23. The header regarding its being a 'draft' version is left over from the time it was a draft, and can now be disregarded. No changes have been made to these files since 1983, when they were initially released. -------
