The adahome site is a mirror.  The "original" site is:

    http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada95.html

This provides access to a number of Ada 95-related standards.  If you
know you want a "zip" of the postscript of the rationale, you can
go directly to:

   http://www.adaic.org/standards/95rat/RATzip/ps/rat_all.ps.zip

There is a version of the Reference Manual in A4 format, but not one
for the Rational, as far as I know.  Springer-Verlag sells a hard-copy
of the Ada 95 Rationale, if you want to have a nicely-bound version.

Note that the Rationale was produced using Microsoft Word, and the
Postscript it generates sometimes gives other tools hiccoughs (no big
surprise about that, I suppose).
