I had a look at your pages, and then on to WUArchive's PAL. You mentioned that it's nice to have a paper copy of the documentation on ADA and I agree. I do NOT want to be forced into using only an online, HTML version of the docs. In a quick look, I wasn't able to find any information in PDF form mentioned in the FAQ or elsewhere. This is the form, most convenient for me, to print out two-sided docs. Specifically, I'd like to get both the Reference Manual AND the Rational printed out, two-sided, as well as having a searchable PDF form here, handy for scanning. It's how I use the Intel manuals for the CPUs, for example. Any suggestions? Jon P.S. I read through both of these, the Ref and the Rational, back in 1988 or so, for Ada83. (I've been programming since 1974.) Never used the compiler, but considered it. I have worked closely with someone who actually wrote an ADA compiler, though, and we've talked over some of the issues. I'd like to give the language another careful read, but I'm not going to do that via HTML -- I'll need a paper copy. I may be tempted to buy one, someday, but I'll look over the language now if such is available freely.
