Surely Ada programmers keep the >Holy Scriptures (alias "Reference Manual for the Ada(R) Programming Language") >handy? Especially someone working on a CASE tool? > USF has just recently become involved with Ada, and as a result we have a very small library of Ada reference materials. Also, as we have a very large Engineering College, it is sometimes difficult to track down materials that someone else may have. So, I currently only have one Ada textbook and a compiler manual to look at, neither of which said much at all about this topic. Until the last couple of days, I had not even heard of the LRMs. That is why I asked the net for help, and because I asked I now have a good list of reference materials to get hold of. I was ignorant, and now I am a little bit less so.
