The acronym "AARM" stands for "Annotated Ada Reference Manual," and yes,
it is different from the manual you cite below.  The difference is that
it contains extra information (the annotations) about why the language
designers made the choices they did.

The AARM is really for compiler writers and power users.

The theory of evolution is quite rightly called the greatest unifying
theory in biology.  The diversity of organisms, similarities and
differences between kinds of organisms, patterns of distribution and
behavior, adaptation and interaction, all this was merely a bewildering
chaos of facts until given meaning by the evolutionary theory.
