Distributing LRM to Students Cheaply

Distributing LRM to Students Cheaply

[Richard Pattis]

I'd like to cheaply get the Ada LRM distributed to all my students.  Can
anyone tell me who cheaply sells this document?  I'd also like to know if
I can just copy it myslef and distribute it; the copyright notice in the
one I have certainly looks this way.  I can make copies at about $13, so
anything commercially available for approximately this price would be
preferable.

Try the Government Printing Office - $8.00 (I think).  202-783-3238.
...and no, they're not on the net.

You can FTP, or even buy ASCII copies and distribute on floppies if you want
as well.

Distributing the Ada RM (*) on floppies might be a good idea since there are
some "browsing" type programs available.  E.g., if you have access to Gnu Emacs
the recently distributed Ada-mode includes browsing in the RM.

(*) Hey, its the Ada RM, not Ada LRM.  Just look at the front cover.  See an
    'L' anywhere?  :-)
