If the expected flood of responses doesn't come in quickly, run don't walk
to your nearest technical library and check out a good text on Pascal.  The
day or three that you spend coming up in Pascal will save you time when you
tackle real Ada.  A good Ada text with a turtorial flavor is:

"Programming in Ada" by J.G.P Barnes published by Addison-Wesley

The Ada LRM (ANSI/MIL-STD 1815A) isn't bad either but gets vague in spots.
The LRM is available ftp from AJPO (sorry, don't remember the path to 
Carnegie-Mellon -- boy I hope I spelled that correctly)

Hope this helps.

P.S. Spelling is not my strong suit.  Be kind... :^)
