The following is from languages/ada/userdocs/alt_srcs/wcreek.txt in the PAL
(wuarchive.wustl.edu). Look in this area for a ZIP file containing more info
on the contents of the CDROM if you are interested.

The file wcreek.zip is a copy of most of the readme files in the
top-level directory of the Walnut Creek Ada CDROM.  This is also a copy
of the index tree from that CDROM, showing you in detail the contents of
the CDROM.

Note: the omitted top-level readme files were omitted because they were
more of an operational bent than an informational bent, and, as someone
who wants to know what is on the CDROM, I restricted this blurb of
information to a higher level of detail.

This information is provided as a service to the PAL user community.
Users should be able to determine if they wish to acquire the CDROM from
this information.  To some users, acquisition of this CDROM would also
require the acquisition of a CDROM reader.  It is hoped that this
information will allow them to adequately judge the value of the CDROM
to them before expending the funds for such a purchase.

People who have made a contribution of a significant item on this CDROM
are entitled to a free copy of the CDROM.  I personally find this to be
a very generous offer on the part of Walnut Creek, but, as a contributor
to PAL who also wants to see efforts like Walnut Creek succeed, I chose
to purchase their CDROM anyway.  However, their offer stands, and it is
up to you.

The price of the Ada CDROM is $39.95.  Quantity discounts are available
starting in lots of 10 CDROMs.  Contact Walnut Creek for details. As
always, shipping, handling, and sales tax are extra when you consider
the final price.
