Announcing a New Version of AdaTutor

Announcing a New Version of AdaTutor

[John Herro]

Software Innovations Technology announces ver. 4.00 of AdaTutor, an interactive
Ada 95 tutorial, available for download at http://members.aol.com/AdaTutor and
at ftp://members.aol.com/AdaTutor.  This shareware program runs on a PC (any
version of Windows or DOS), with or without an Ada compiler.  AdaTutor differs
from other Ada tutorials in that it's written in Ada, and source code is
included.  Because Ada 83 source code is included, AdaTutor also runs on other
computers with an Ada 83 or Ada 95 compiler (VAX mainframes, UNIX workstations,
etc.)

Some of the new features of ver. 4.00 are these:
1.  We added a large amount of new Ada 95 material (Controlled Types, Stream
I/O, Raise_Exception, etc.)
2.  The tutorial text is now centered around Ada 95, with references to the
differences in Ada 83, instead of the other way around.
3.  We added pointers to useful Ada Web sites, such as www.adahome.com.
4.  ANSI.SYS is no longer required!  Windows NT users will be especially
grateful, because installing ANSI.SYS is more complicated with NT than with
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/98.  The program still lets you select colors.
5.  The current screen number is now always visible.

Please note that we don't expect shareware registrations from people who
already know Ada and only evaluate AdaTutor.  Most of the regulars on
comp.lang.ada fall into that category.  However, I would be honored if you
would download the program and offer your comments.  Shareware registrations
are only for people who "use" AdaTutor to learn Ada.  We now offer multi-user
licenses for as few as 25 users.

You can find further details and FAQs at our Web site.
