Bard, et. al.,

I can't speak for any publisher, but there WAS a nice Ada 83 "nutshell"
(although not by the O'Reilly folks) book entitled "Ada Programmer's
Handbook" by Dean W. Gonzalez, 1991, Benjamin/Cumming Publishing
Company, Inc. I picked it up at a book sale, and thought it was a
wonderful handbook. We certianly need such a book for Ada 95!

Please let me know how you make out!
