I feel an advert break coming on... :-) BURKS 5 is now out (a 3 CD set, now it's reached its 5th year) and has GNAT 3.13, GNATCOM, ADAGIDE, GRASP, and a bunch of other stuff (LRM95, the Rationale, the Style Guide, the Lovelace tutorial, etc). Will this fit the bill? The reason it takes up 3 CDs is that it also includes Red Hat 6.2, compilers and tutorials for another couple of dozen languages, a dictionary of computing with about 13,000 entries, hyperlinked copies of all the online RFCs, and a shedload of other useful odds and sods. It costs �6.00 (about $10.00 US?) for about 2 gig of software and documentation. It's fully indexed, and the 3 CDs act together as a single co-ordinated website (there's a bundled copy of Netscape or you can use your own browser, and you get prompted to change disks when necessary). The whole lot is available online at http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/ -- the Ada section is at http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/ and the Pascal section is at http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/language/pascal/. Might be worth a look, IMHO. ----------------------------------------------------------------- John English | mailto:je@brighton.ac.uk Senior Lecturer | http://www.comp.it.bton.ac.uk/je Dept. of Computing | ** NON-PROFIT CD FOR CS STUDENTS ** University of Brighton | -- see http://burks.bton.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------
